"These are primo! Adapted from Maida Heatter. I think I reduced the amount of sugar from the original recipe. I will give the more "standard" ingredients with a healthier variation that I personally use. The estimate of preparation time includes chilling time."

ingredients

²⁄₃ cup butter
1 ¹⁄₄ cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 ¹⁄₂ cups flour
¹⁄₃ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 dash salt
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
1 -2 cup broken nuts

directions

Adjust 2 oven racks so that one is 1/3 down from the top and other is 1/3 up from the bottom.
Preheat oven to 375°F
Melt butter in microwave on high – about 1.5 minutes.
Add sugar, vanilla and eggs one at a time.
Add dry ingredients; add nuts.
Refrigerate the dough for about an hour or more, until it is really cold, or cheat and use the freezer for a shorter amount of time. Do not skip this step! This is necessary or the cookies will spread while baking.
Drop the chilled dough by rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart on 2 ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 7 to 9 minutes, switching pans once. Do not overbake.
Here are my substitutions: instead of white sugar, I use fructose;
Instead of white flour, I use 1 1/4 cups organic oat flour or whole wheat pastry flour plus 1/4 cup soy flour.
