How to Make Kahlua Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened margarine and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Beat in the Kahlua and egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
  8. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  9. Roll each ball in the cocoa-powdered sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  10. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  11. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
  12. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
