Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 12 minutes Total time: 42 minutes Number of servings: 30 cookies Ingredients For the cookies: - 150 g brown sugar (choose quality sugar that adds a deeper flavor) - 150 g butter (at room temperature for easy incorporation) - 1 egg (preferably organic for better taste) - 200 g flour (sifted to avoid lumps) - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon ground coffee (use specialty coffee for a more intense flavor) - 1 packet vanilla sugar (can be replaced with vanilla essence) For the glaze: - 100 g powdered sugar - 3 teaspoons strong freshly brewed espresso (you can use 3 tablespoons of ground coffee mixed with 1/2 cup warm water) Preparation Instructions 1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, place the room temperature butter and add the brown sugar along with the vanilla sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients on medium speed until you achieve a fluffy and smooth cream, about 3-5 minutes. This will give the cookies an airy texture. 2. Adding the egg and coffee: Add the egg and continue mixing until it is fully incorporated. Then, add the ground coffee and mix again until you have a uniform composition. 3. Incorporating dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, gently mixing with a spatula or with the mixer on low speed. You will obtain a fairly homogeneous dough, but do not overmix. 4. Chilling the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step is essential for achieving crispy cookies. 5. Forming the cookies: Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 0.5 cm. Using cookie cutters, cut the cookies into various shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 6. Baking: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges become slightly golden. Let them cool on a wire rack. 7. Glazing: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar with the cold espresso until you obtain a slightly fluid paste. Gently coat each cookie with this glaze, then set them aside until the glaze hardens. Serving Suggestions These coffee cookies are perfect to be served with a cup of hot coffee or a glass of hot chocolate. You can also add some ground almonds or nuts to the dough for an extra texture and flavor. Additionally, for a more sophisticated version, try sprinkling them with a dusting of cocoa or cinnamon before baking. Possible Variations If you want to experiment, you can replace the coffee with cocoa to get chocolate cookies or add dark chocolate chips or hazelnuts to the dough for a more decadent version. These coffee cookies are versatile and can be adapted to everyone's tastes and preferences. Enjoy this simple coffee cookie recipe! A delicious dessert that will delight both coffee lovers and those who appreciate fine flavors.
