How to Make Frosted Chocolate Mocha Bites

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.
Add ½ cup vegetable oil and mix until thoroughly blended.
Beat in 1 large egg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
In another bowl, combine ½ cup plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon strong brewed espresso, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the chocolate mixture, alternating between the two and mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts.
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops begin to crack.
Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
**Make the glaze:** In a small bowl, cream together ¼ cup (½ stick) softened unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
Beat in 1 tablespoon strong brewed espresso, a pinch of salt, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
Before the glaze sets, sprinkle with ¼ cup finely chopped walnuts.
