Makes about 7 dozen

Ingredients

1 tablespoon instant espresso coffee
1 tablespoon boiling water
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

Stir together espresso and boiling water. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla and espresso. Add flour and salt, and beat until just combined. Beat in chocolate.

Divide dough in half, and shape into two 10-inch-long logs, about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Wrap each in parchment, and freeze for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Let dough stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, and space 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until centers are set and edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder.

                A cheaper place online to get Medaglia D'oro Instant Espresso Coffee, is javacabana.com....it's cheaper than the website given above and javacabana has free shipping no matter how little you purchase. They have other brands of espresso instant too, but the medaglia is suppose to be better.

                I whipped up a half-batch this evening to see how it would go without melting the chocolate, using whole-wheat pastry flour and a little extra espresso.  This is a delicious, unique "adult-taste" cookie, but would definitely be better if the chocolate were melted before it was "beaten" into the batter, otherwise you do have melted chunks.  By the way,  I could see serving these delicate -- but very rich -- cookies with a small glass of ruby red port after an elegant winter dinner!

                I have not made yet - if I have time this weekend I am going to do it.
                But it sounds like you are correct.  It would be hard to 'beat in' hard chocolate.
                Thank you for pointing it out!
