Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and grease cookie sheets.
-
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
-
In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, softened butter, and vanilla until creamy.
-
Beat in the melted chocolate mixture, then add the egg and sour cream, mixing until well combined.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just incorporated.
-
Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
-
Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared cookie sheets.
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
-
While cookies bake, make the frosting: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa, softened butter, instant coffee, vanilla, and enough milk to reach a spreadable consistency.
-
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Once cool, spread or pipe the mocha frosting over the top of each cookie.
