List of Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
3/4 coarsely chopped nuts
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 12-ounce package (1 3/4 cups) M&M's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Bits
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy; add egg, vanilla and dissolved coffee granules. Blend in flour mixture and nuts. Remove half the dough to a small bowl; set aside. To the dough remaining in the mixing bowl, blend in cocoa powder. By hand, stir in the M&M's into the two doughs, using half for each. Combine the two doughs by folding together just enough to marbleize, about 4 strokes. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes just until set; DO NOT OVER-BAKE. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack until completely cooled. Store in tightly covered container. Makes about 2.5 dozen cookies.
