Ingredients
4
cups
Basic Cookie Mix
(recipe below)
1
cup
chopped nuts
(optional)
¼
cup
butter
(softened)
2
ounces
unsweetened chocolate
(melted and cooled)
2
large
eggs
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
½
teaspoon
almond extract
scant ¼
teaspoon
instant espresso powder
(optional - see note below)
1
cup
powdered sugar
1
tablespoon
milk
(approximate)
½
teaspoon
almond extract
sprinkles, colored sugar, etc.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a mixing bowl combine Cookie Mix, nuts, chocolate, butter, chocolate, eggs and extracts to form a soft dough.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place about 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
Bake at 375°F until cookies are set, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly before moving to a wire cooling rack.
While cookies are cooling combine powdered sugar, almond extract and enough milk to make icing to your desired consistency.
When cookies are cool, spread icing on top and decorate with sprinkles. Store in airtight container once icing is set.
Notes
The small amount of espresso powder boosts the flavor of the chocolate, but you do not taste the coffee.
