In a mixing bowl take butter and beat it to smooth it a bit. The butter should be on room temperature.

Add this coffee in the butter mixture and combine it.
Put a strainer on the bowl and sift in all purpose flour and baking powder in the butter mixture. Also add a pinch of salt in it.

Add chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips, mix everything till the batter becomes smooth. You can skip these 2 ingredients if you do not want.
