Kaffee Plätzchen (German Coffee Cookies)

• 200 grams Flour
• 140 grams Butter
• 50 grams Powdered Sugar
• 20 grams Dutch Cocoa
• 1/2 tablespoon Espresso Powder
• 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolade Shavings
• 200 grams Semisweet Chocolate

1. Preheat the oven to 175u0b0 Celsius or 340u0b0 Fahrenheit.
2. Beat butter and powdered sugar together until creamy, for about 3 minutes.
3. Sift the dry ingredients together and carefully incorporate them into the butter/sugar mixture.
4. Using your hands, form a smooth, rather dry dough. It should not be too wet.
5. Now gently roll little balls the size of hazelnuts out of it. Place them on a lined baking sheet and use a fork to flatten and mark the cookies with a striped pattern. Make sure to coat the fork in flour every time you use it or it will stick to the surface of the cookie.
6. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes.
7. Melt the semisweet chocolade over water. Dip each cookie in the chocolate and place it on parchment paper to cool.
