This specific recipe, with American influences, combines simple and accessible ingredients to create a dessert that quickly became popular worldwide.

Necessary ingredients

- 200 g flour
- 1/2 packet of baking powder
- 60 g brown sugar
- 30 g powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
- 30 g almond flour
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 egg
- 100 g melted butter
- A pinch of salt
- 50 g chopped walnuts
- A few dark chocolate pieces for decoration

Preparing the cookies

1. Preparing the ingredients: It is recommended to prepare all the ingredients before starting. Measure the flour, sugar, cocoa, and other ingredients accurately. This step will help you organize your time better and avoid any surprises.

2. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, powdered sugar, instant coffee, cocoa, almond flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix these dry ingredients well using a spatula or a fork to ensure that all the flavors blend harmoniously.

3. Preparing the wet mixture: In another bowl, beat the egg as for an omelet. Add the melted butter and honey. Mix well until the composition becomes homogeneous.

4. Combining the mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry one. Use a spoon or your hands to mix the ingredients. Don’t worry if the dough seems a bit stickier; that’s normal! Add the chopped walnuts and continue mixing until everything is well incorporated.

5. Shaping the cookies: Using a spoon, take portions of dough and form balls about 3 cm in diameter. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to expand during baking. Decorate each cookie with a few pieces of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of walnut.

6. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes until they become golden and slightly firm to the touch. Let them cool on a rack so they retain their crunchy texture.
