Mocha almond cookies

Cream the softened butter with the sugar.

Beat in one egg and the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and coffee powder.

Combine the flour mixture with the creamed butter and chopped almonds.

Wrap the dough and chill for 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat an oven to 175 degrees celsius. Roll the dough into one inch pieces and placed on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, before removing and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
