Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee granules, (not coffee grounds)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instruction

  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cocoa powder, sugar, oil, instant coffee granules, cinnamon, cayenne, baking powder, and salt together until well combined.
  • Beat in the vanilla and eggs, then scrape the bowl. Slowly add in the flour. The dough will look like brownie batter. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm enough to roll by hand.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then place each ball in a bowl of powdered sugar and coat thoroughly, before placing on a baking sheet. Space the ball at least three inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheets before moving.
