1 Cup Dark Chocolate
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Tbsp Cold Strong Coffee

Cook Time: 10 min 
  
Yield: 30-35 cookies 
  
Directions: 
In the bowl of a mixer, combine flour, butter, sugar, salt, and Irish creamMix, with the paddle attachment, until the dough goes from pebble-like to a soft dough. Shape the dough into a disk and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 60 min or freeze for 30 min. 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Take the cookie dough out of the refrigerator  and roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick and use a round cookie cutter and cut out shapes. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn light brown.

While the cookies are baking, place a small sauce pan on the stove filled 1/3 of the way with water. Pour the chocolate and vanilla into a heat proof bowl and place over the boiling water. Stir the chocolate constantly until it is heated through and melted and glossy. If the chocolate seizing, add a bit more liquid until you reach the desired texture.

Dip half of the cookie in chocolate. Let set and serve!
