Ingredients
•
3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup lightly salted butter, softened
•
2 large eggs
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
3 tablespoons finely ground coffee
•
3 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
2
Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time and blend well.
3
Mix flour, coffee, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a bowl and whisk to blend. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until dough is blended.
4
Lightly oil a large square of aluminum foil. Place dough on top and use foil to roll into a log about 12 inches long. Open the foil and slip dough log onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten log to about 1 1/2 inches in height.
