Coffee Cookies

Ingredients

 * 1 cup margarine
 * ¾ cup icing sugar
 * ½ teaspoon vanilla
 * 1 tbsp instant coffee granules
 * ½ teaspoon salt
 * 1 and ¾ cups unbleached white flour


 * chocolate glaze:
 * ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips. (using the good, expensive ones, like tropical source brand, will bring a whole other dimension to these cookies.)
 * 2 tbsp or more liquid of your choice (non-dairy milk, coffee, water); just enough to make the melted chocolate liquid-y and drizzley.

Directions

 * 1) Cream the margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy.
 * 2) Add vanilla.
 * 3) Combine coffee granules and flour.
 * 4) Stir the flour mixture into creamed mixture and mix well.
 * 5) Chill the dough before forming into ¾ inch balls.
 * 6) Bake at 350 f for 18-20 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.
 * 7) While they are baking, melt the chocolate chips and liquid together over low heat (a double boiler would be best).
 * 8) When the cookies come out of the oven, and are still warm, place them on a sheet of waxed paper and, using a butter knife to scoop up the glaze, whip the chocolate around over them to create jackson pollock-esque designs on them.
