Ingredients (makes 28 cookies):

For the cookie dough:

• 1 3/4 cup of All-Purpose Flour
• 6 Tbs of Cocoa Powder
• 1 Tbs of Instant Coffee
• 1 cup of Butter, softened
• 3/4 cup of Powdered Sugar
• pinch of Salt

For the Glaze:

• 2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 2 Tbs Milk (or as needed to create a glaze)

Materials:

• Mixing Bowl
• Electric mixer
• 2 Baking sheets
• Rolling pin with spacer
• Snowflake-shaped cookie cutter (3D)
• Cooling wire rack

Instructions:

• Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a handheld electric mixer.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

• Mix together until a soft dough forms, divide in half and refrigerate for 15 min.

• Roll and Cut: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out one half of dough between two parchment papers into about 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin with a spacer (for even thickness of the dough).

• Use a floured 3D snowflake-shaped cookie cutter (to prevent sticking) and cut out the cookies.

• Place them on the lined baking sheets, leaving some space between each.

• Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are set. Allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Prepare the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or milk if necessary.

• Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a spoon to carefully fill the snowflake indentations with the glaze. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
