1 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. instant coffee granules
about 1/2 cup sugar, either granulated or powdered (for rolling the dough balls before baking)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy,
then beat in the eggs and vanilla. Fold in the remaining ingredients and mix until
smooth. Take teaspoons of
the dough and roll into balls, then roll those in the granulated or powdered
sugar. Place on a
baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 9-12 minutes. When done the tops of the cookies will
look dry and they will be covered with cracks. Allow to cool on the pans about 8-10 minutes before
moving to a rack to finish cooling. Makes 4-5 dozen cookies, depending on size.
