Mocha Truffle Cookies

Alex has been begging me to make these cookies for a long time.  He made them before and absolutely loved them (he's a huge mocha fan), so he repeatedly told me I needed to make them.  He didn't have the recipe every time he said this, though.  Once he finally got the recipe from his mom, he showed it to me over skype so I could quickly type it up while we were home for break.  I haven't gotten a chance to make them until now..and I blame Alex's lack of description of them for that delay..they are so good!
