COCOA BOMBS
These are my attempt to make a chocolate version of Mexican Wedding Cake cookies. (My son named them.) In my experiments I felt that using half butter and half margarine made for the best texture, but you can of course use all butter if you wish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Beat butter, margarine and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in vanilla extract and water and blend thoroughly.
- Beat in cocoa.
- Slowly add flour and nuts and mix until completely incorporated.
- Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place on ungreased baking sheet.
- Flatten balls slightly.
- Bake until cookies are set but not browned, about 8 minutes.
- Roll in powdered sugar while still warm. Do not skip this step.
- When cooled, roll in powdered sugar again (or sift powdered sugar over tops). Do not skip this step.
- Note: This type of cookie tends to be on the dry side. If you want it to be moister, try underbaking by 1-2 minutes.
