Mocha Acorns

by Kay Peterson

Servings:

INGREDIENTS

1 cup sweet butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2-1/2 cups flour
6 oz. semisweet chocolate pieces, melted
1 tsp. cocoa
1 tsp. instant coffee
1 cup pecans, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease cookie sheets. Cream butter and brown sugar. Add the sifted flour, cocoa, instant coffee, vanilla and salt. Mix well. Roll into 4 long rolls about 1-inch in diameter. Cut into 3/4-inch sections and roll each into a ball. With fingertips, press each ball slightly onto the cookie sheet to make a flat base and pinch the top to make a point (balls shouldn't be more than 3/4-inch in diameter.) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. While warm, dip the wide end of the balls into chocolate and roll in the pecans. Place in paper candy cups.
