Heat oven to 350°. Sift together flour, cocoa, and salt. Stir in coffee, and set aside. 2. Beat butter until smooth. Add sugar, and beat well. Add flour mixture, and beat until combined. 3. Pat dough into an ungreased 8-inch round pan. Bake until firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove shortbread from oven, let sit for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges. Let cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar before serving.   necromancer Member # 12656 posted You could substitute the cacao for carob in this one too.   Laura Member # 879 posted This looks simple, fast and YUMMY! I am out of butter, but tomorrow I am trying it out. It's kind of like a cake brownie? Did you try adding nuts?   Josette Member # 12613 posted Ooh that does look good. Is confectioner's sugar powdered sugar? And do you need a "sifter" to sift flour?   With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289 posted Josette, yes it is powdered suar and even if you have a simple hand-held sifter that's fine. although to be honest there have been many times I don't sift and it comes out fine. Laura, I have added pecans but I use them sparingly, of course walnuts might be good too Necro, carob would probably work for this one, too, but I have plenty of Hershey's cocoa from mom in the cabinet just calling my name   hibbah Member # 12156 posted omg - that looks SO good right now. i just woke up and im starving, but its 1:00 am, and the only thing opened right now is fast food- and im on a diet, but im starving, and i dont know what to do   With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289 posted go get some fast food but get the salads, or you can go by the grocery store and get some snackwells devil's food cakes, makes you feel like you're eating chocolate, but they have no fat it's not the BEST thing you can eat, but might help your cravings for chocolate BE STRONG HIBBAH!   Contact Us | EgyptSearch!
