Learn how to make the most amazing coffee bean-shaped cookies! If you love coffee and cookies, you'll love this recipe. They're crispy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside, melting in your mouth.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 tablespoon of instant coffee
1 tablespoon of hot water
1 egg yolk
2/3 cup (83 g) of powdered sugar
1/3 cup (75 g) of butter, softened
1 cup (125 g) of flour
2 tablespoons (15g) of cornstarch
2 tablespoons (15g) of cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 170°C.
1 – In a small bowl, whisk together the instant coffee and hot water. Set aside.
2 – In a large bowl, beat together the butter and icing sugar. Add the egg yolk and stir until smooth. Add the coffee and whisk until smooth. Sift together the flour, cornflour, cocoa powder, and salt, and add to the butter mixture. Stir until the dough is incorporated and formed.
3 – Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
4 – Remove 1 teaspoon of dough and then roll it with your hands, gently shaping it into an oval. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, using a toothpick or the back of a knife, gently press down on the diameter of the oval.
5 – Freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6 – Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Remarks:
What can we use instead of cornstarch?
Cornstarch gives the cookies a melt-in-your-mouth texture. If you don't have cornstarch on hand, you can use the same amount of all-purpose flour.
What type of coffee can we use?
You can use instant coffee or if you don't have instant coffee, you can use 2 tablespoons of brewed coffee or the same amount of espresso.
How long can we store the biscuits?
The biscuits can be stored in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 5 days.
Can we prepare cookies in advance?
These cookies can be made ahead of time. You can prepare the dough, shape it into coffee beans as described in the recipe, and freeze it for up to 2 months. Then, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and bake as described in the recipe.
A cup corresponds to 250 ml when I mention "cup" in my recipes. Here are two tables that will help you with your conversions if you don't have a cup!
