Black as midnight inside with a snowy white surface crackled to show off that chocolate, coffee & cinnamon treat hidden under the blanket of powdery sweet sugar! This is a grownup cookie for all coffee lovers!

2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 & 1/3 Cups Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa
4 TSP Instant Coffee Granules
2 TSP Baking Soda
2 TSP Cinnamon
4 Egg Whites UNBEATEN! Use 5 if not using large eggs!
2/3 Cup Plain Yogurt
1 TSP Vanilla
3 Cups Flour 
Directions to mix dough follows the mixture you roll the cookie dough into! 

To roll the cookie dough balls in:
Mix all together
1 & 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar                                                 
1 TBS Cinnamon
