Ingredients

• 1 tsp. Hot water

• ½ cup all Vegetable Shortening

• ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar

• ¼ tsp. Salt

• ½ tsp. vanilla extract

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup chocolate decorator bits

• 1 tsp. baking powder

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp. Ground cinnamon

Instructions

• ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg

• 2 tsp. Coffee Crystals

1. In hot water, dissolve instant coffee. Take the large ceramic bowl, beat shortening, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and coffee mixture until light and fluffy—add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

2. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a 7-inch-long x 12-inch-diameter roll. Roll in chocolate decorator bits, lightly pressing.

3. Tightly wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours before baking—preheat oven to 375 F. cut the rolls into 1/4-inch slices. On an ungreased baking sheet, arrange slices 1 inch apart. Bake for 6–8 minutes until the mixture is set.

4. Allow cooling on rack.
