Coffee-and-Cream Drops From Dessert Du Jour
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules 3 tablespoons light cream or half-and-half 1 cup butter (no
substitutes), softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3/3 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda
4/4 teaspoon salt 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
5/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6/2 cup chopped nuts
7/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together instant coffee granules and 1 tablespoon of the light
cream or half-and-half in a small bowl until coffee dissolves; set aside. Beat butter in a large
mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar,
brown sugar, baking soda, and salt; beat until combined. Beat in the coffee mixture, egg, and
vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining
flour with a wooden spoon. Divide the dough in half. Set one portion aside. Stir the remaining 2
tablespoons light cream or half-and-half and the cocoa powder into the remaining portion. Stir nuts
into chocolate dough. Stir chocolate pieces into plain dough. Spoon a scant 1 teaspoon of each dough
side by side on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press dough pairs together. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until
just set. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; transfer to wire racks and cool completely. Makes about 48.
