Does anyone have a recipe for Mexican Mocha ball cookies?!
Answers: I cut out a recipe years ago from the newspaper for this recipe but I've seem to have misplaced it. I know the cookies had coffee, chocolate and walnuts in them and after they were baked they were dipped in powdered sugar. Definately the best cookies I ever had!!

1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange the balls about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are just firm, and let them cool for 5 minutes on the sheets.
