• Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions



1. Break up cookie dough into a large bowl; let stand 10 to 15 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350º F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.
   
   
2. In a small cup, stir together vanilla and espresso powder until powder dissolves. Add vanilla mixture, cocoa powder, cinnamon and pecans to cookie dough. Mix well with your fingers, a wooden spoon, or the paddle attachment of an electric stand mixer.
   
   
3. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until just set and golden at edges. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely.
