Chocolate-Mocha Spritz Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons cocoa powder, heaped
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules, mixed in
• 1 teaspoon boiling water

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400F (200 degrees C).

2. 2

   Combine the flour and salt in a small bowl, stir to mix.

3. 3

   Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, Beat in egg and vanilla.

4. 4

   Add the chocolate, beat again, add coffee and cocoa powder.

5. 5

   Gradually add the the flour mixture while making.

6. 6

   Fit a cookie press with desired plate and fill the press with dough, press the dough 1 inch apart onto a ungreased cookie sheet. If you don't have a press, I'm sure you could use a pasty bag and pipe shapes.

7. 7

   Bake batches for 7 mins or until set (you might want to play around with timings as most ovens are unique). Note these cookies harden whilst they cool, I would also recommend using a mixer unless your super strong as it's quite a lot of dough.
