    Source of Recipe


    Pillsbury Bars & Cookies


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 (1 lb. 2.25-oz.) pkg. Pillsbury Moist Supreme Yellow Cake Mix
    • 2 tablespoons oil
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 2 teapsoons instant coffee granules or crystals
    • 2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, melted
    • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
    • 1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted


    Instructions


    1. In large bowl, combine cake mix, oil and eggs; mix until well blended.
    2. In small bowl, combine water and instant coffee; stir until dissolved. Divide dough in half. To half of dough (about 1 1/2 cups), stir in coffee mixture and melted chocolate; mix well. To remaining half of dough, stir in almond extract and almonds; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours for easier handling.
    3. Heat oven to 325 F. Grease large cookie sheet. Divide each half of dough in half again; return half of almond dough and half of coffee dough to refrigerator. On well-floured surface with floured hands, pat almond dough into 8x4-inch rectangle. (Dough will be sticky.) Spoon chocolate dough over almond dough, spreading to edges and covering evenly.
    4. Starting at short side of rectangle, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Roll back and forth on surface to form 14-inch roll. Place on 1 side of greased cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining dough, placing rolls 4 inches apart on cookie sheet.
    5. Bake at 325 F. for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool rolls 10 minutes; remove from cookie sheet.
    6. Slice each roll diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices, cut side down, on cookie sheets. Bake at 325 F. for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
    7. Turn cookies over; bake an additional 10 minutes or until cookies are golden brown and firm to the touch. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.
