Cappuccino Crinkles
1/3 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp. instant coffee granules
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large egg whites
1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat butter in a large mixing bowl
with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown
sugar, cocoa powder, coffee granules, baking soda, and cinnamon. Beat until
combined, scraping sides of the bowl occasionally. Beat in egg whites
and yogurt until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with
the mixer. Stir in remaining flour with a wooden spoon.

teaspoons into sugar and roll into balls. Roll again in sugar. Place balls 2
inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until
edges are firm. Transfer cookies to wire racks and cool. Makes about 32
