Ingredients:

• 230 gr flour 00
• 100 gr sugar
• 125 gr butter
• 45 ml coffee (2 espresso cups)
• 25 gr unsweetened cocoa powder

Preparation:

1. Soften the butter at room temperature
2. Prepare coffee and let it cool down
3. When the butter is softened, add the sugar and mix until you get a creamy dough
4. Add the coffee and mix a little more until it blends with the rest.
5. Now add the sifted flour and cocoa and work everything again to make the dough uniform.
6. With the mixture obtained, make a loaf, wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for two hours.
7. Remove the loaf from the fridge, remove the cling film and with a spoon (or with your hands) form many little pieces as small as walnuts.
8. Try to give them an oval shape
9. Make a little groove in the middle of each piece, to make them look just like a coffee bean
10. Arrange the cookies on a baking tray, with baking paper on the base
11. Let the rest in the fridge for another half an hour
12. In the meantime, pre-heat the oven to 170°
13. Now put them into the oven and let them cook for about 10-15 minutes
14. Remove from the oven and let them cool down
