Coffee Butter Cookies
A light butter cookie flecked with coffee from the cookbook "Passion for Coffee"
Calories:
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb clarified butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. granulated instant coffee or espresso
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Lightly spray 2 (or more) baking sheets with nonstick spray.
- (I used parchment paper instead)
- Beat the butter in an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Sift the powdered sugar into the mixer bowl, and continue to mix for 8-10 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour and coffee. Reduce speed to low and add to the mixer bowl. Beat only to incorporate, no more than 1 minute. It will be a dry, textured dough.
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon portions, place on baking sheet and flatten slightly with your hand.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until lightly golden. Set aside to cool 5 - 10 minutes.
- Store in containers for up to a week.
Notes
The only issue I had both times was the yield. According to the recipe, I should've had 80 cookies. I ended up with about 20.
I used a slightly larger scoop than 1 tablespoon (the portion in recipe) and did not cut in half, which they did. Adapted from Passion for Coffee
