Coffee Cookies
Description
This Coffee Cookies recipe uses instant coffee dissolved in warm water to infuse the dough evenly with coffee flavor. The sugars and melted butter are creamed before adding egg and vanilla, then combined with the dissolved coffee. Flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt are sifted together and folded in to form a smooth dough.
Baking at 325°F yields cookies with slightly crisp edges and a tender center. The balanced sweetness from light brown and white sugars complements the subtle bitterness of coffee. Using parchment paper prevents spreading and burning on the bottoms, ensuring even baking.
These cookies pair well with beverages like milk, tea, or coffee itself, making a fitting sweet treat for coffee lovers. Uniform sizing using a cookie scoop helps cookies bake evenly. Slight cooling on the sheet before transferring to a rack avoids breakage.
Store baked and cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Instant coffee brands like Starbucks Via or Cafe Bustelo work well; avoid using regular ground coffee.

- 2 Tablespoons instant coffee
- 1 Tablespoon water warm

- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out the dough onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
