How To Make mocha truffle gems
-
Step 1In a medium sized heavy sauce pan over medium heat melt butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Stir in coffee powder/crystals. Cool 5 minutes. Stir in sugars, eggs and vanilla.
-
Step 2Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir into chocolate/coffee mixture. Add 1 cup chocolate chips and stir until just mixed in.

Step 4I always rotate my cookie sheets half way through the baking time. Switch baking rack AND turn the cookie sheet.
