Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (or finely ground coffee)
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk (or water to dissolve the coffee)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small cup, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the tablespoon of milk or water. Stir well until completely dissolved.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer or a whisk until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and the dissolved coffee mixture until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and then roll each ball in sugar to coat. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
For a mocha twist, stir in 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough before baking.
If you like a spiced coffee flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
For a more intense coffee flavor, drizzle the cooled cookies with a simple coffee glaze made from powdered sugar and brewed coffee.
