CAPPUCCINO CHOCOLATE BARS

Category: Bars

2 1/2 cups flour
2 tbsp instant espresso or coffee powder
1/4 tsp baking powder and salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
12 oz white chocolate or 12 oz white chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375. Combine the flour, coffee powder, baking powder and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy; beat in the egg yolks and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture.

Line a 10x5 inch baking pan with foil; spray with cooking spray. Press the dough into the pan; prick the surface of the dough with a fork. Bake until the edges are slightly browned, 15 to 17 minutes. While the dough is still warm, cut into 1-by-3 inch bars with a large knife or pastry wheel; transfer the bars to wire racks to cool. Melt the white chocolate; dip one end of each bar in chocolate. Cool on waxed paper.
