Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup sweet butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
6 ounces semisweet chocolate pieces -- melted
1 teaspoon cocoa
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1 cup finely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. Cream butter and
brown sugar. Add the sifted flour, cocoa, instant coffee, vanilla and
salt. Mix well. Roll into 4 long rolls about 1 inch in diameter. Cut
into 3/4 inch sections and roll each into a ball. With fingertips, press
each ball slightly onto the cookie sheet to make a flat base and pinch
the top to make a point (balls shouldn't be more than 3/4 inch in
diameter.) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. While warm, dip the wide end of
the balls into chocolate and roll in the pecans. Place in paper candy cups.
