Coffee Cookies
Coffee Cookies combine the magic of coffee into a soft and chewy cookie recipe. Made with instant coffee, then drizzled with a simple glaze, these cookies are for the coffee lover in your life.
Servings: 14 cookies
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 2 tbsp instant coffee plus more for sprinkling on top (optional)
- 1 tbsp hot water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the instant coffee and hot water and mix together; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together for 2 minutes with a stand mixer or electric mixer. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again for an additional minute. Finally add the coffee mixture and mix until combined.
- To that same bowl, add the flour, baking soda and salt and stir until just combined to form the cookie dough.
- Use your hands to scoop out 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and form it into a ball before placing on the baking sheet. Repeat this process until all of the dough is gone. NOTE: you’ll either need to bake in batches or use two large baking sheets.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookie edges are set. Remove from the oven, lift the baking sheet about 1 inch above the counter, then drop it on the counter a few times to flatten out the cookies a bit. Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, make the glaze. Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth, then drizzle some glaze over each cookie. Enjoy!
