Flecked with cherries and glistening with sugar, these dainty cookies always go over big. They're rich and tender with a pleasant chocolate-coffee flavor.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon hot water
1/4 cup baking cocoa
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherry
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
additional sugar
melted semisweet chocolate (optional)
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla. Dissolve coffee granules in water; add to creamed mixture with cocoa. Add flour and mix well. Stir in cherries and walnuts. Shape into 1 1/4 inch balls; roll in sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
2. Bake at 325* for 20-22 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Drizzle with chocolate if desired.
