Instructions
In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until light and creamy.
Add the sugar and brown sugar and mix until fluffy and light and then mix in the egg, instant coffee and peppermint until it is all incorporated
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, dark cocoa powder, baking soda and salt
Slowly mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in small batches until it has all been mixed in.
Once this is done, add in the dark chocolate morsels and using your mixer, mix them in too
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and move to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350° degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl add the powdered sugar for rolling
Using a spoon (or just your hands) grab off a piece of the dough and using your hands roll dough into 1 inch balls
Roll the balls through the powdered sugar and place on the baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes.
Allow to cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container
*Once completely cool, I often re-coat the tops of the cookies in powdered sugar again.. it makes them pretty :)
