Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, or leave it ungreased if preferred.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Whisk together until well blended, and set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color.
4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well to combine.
5
Incorporate the melted unsweetened chocolate, mixing thoroughly until fully integrated.
6
In a separate cup, dissolve the instant coffee granules in boiling water. Stir in the heaped cocoa powder, and add to the chocolate mixture.
7
Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing at low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
8
Fit a cookie press with your desired shape plate, and fill the press with the dough. If you do not have a cookie press, you can use a piping bag to pipe out desired shapes.

Press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring to leave about 1 inch of space between each cookie.

Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Remember that the cookies will harden as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem soft initially. Monitor your oven closely, as baking times can vary.
