Mochaccino Crinkle Cookies

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Cream butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well. With the mixer on low, add hot water then the Greek yogurt, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add flour, espresso powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Put granulated sugar into a small bowl and set it aside. Gently roll the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat. To make more uniform-sized cookies, I like to use a small 1-ounce ice-cream-style scoop. Place sugar-coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool.

Freezes well.
