Directions:
Melt chocolate with a little of the coffee, let cool. Combine all dry ingredients. Make a well and add eggs, margarine. Using your hands, mix together with coffee until just stiff enough to form a ball the size of a walnut. Bake at 400º just long enough so that cookies do not sink in at the touch of a finger. Cool and frost with very thin frosting made with margarine, cocoa, powdered sugar and coffee. Let dry and then store.

Personal Notes:
If you over bake these cookies, they get really hard - so watch the timer and test often.
