• 1 egg yolk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350.
2. Whisk together the mocha latte powder, milk and vanilla in a small bowl, set aside.
3. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder in a separate mixing bowl, set aside.
4. Cream butter and sugar in a medium or large bowl with mixer.
5. Mix in egg and egg yolk, one at a time.
6. Add the bowl of combined latte/milk mixture, mix completely.
7. Lastly, add the dry flour/cocoa ingredients and combine.
8. Drop onto baking sheet in small balls, 1-2 inches apart.
9. Bake for about 12 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges and dough has set.
10. The dough will be thin, so if you like soft cookies, be sure to under cook the dough just a little.
