Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee powder or espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients at room temperature, especially the butter, to ensure smooth mixing and consistent dough texture.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is critical to achieve that tender texture and slight crispness.
  3. Add Coffee and Vanilla: Mix in the instant coffee or espresso powder along with vanilla extract and salt, allowing the rich aroma of coffee to develop within the dough evenly.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Sift the all-purpose flour and gradually add it to the wet mixture, blending until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Shape and Chill: Form the dough into small balls or your preferred shape and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges turn golden brown but the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the perfect balance of softness and slight crunch.

Notes

  • Use fresh instant coffee or espresso powder to maximize aroma and flavor.
  • Chilling the dough is essential to control spreading and keep cookies thick and buttery.
  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Measure flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dense cookies.
  • Remove cookies when edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked for softer bites.
