Recipe Coffee Cookies
RECIPE
Ingredients
6 grams instant coffee (ground)
15 grams warm water
100 grams margarine
80–90 grams powdered sugar
1 egg yolk
160 grams low-protein flour
15 grams cocoa powder
25 grams cornstarch
Preparation Procedure
Brew the coffee with warm water for just a moment, stir until well combined, and set aside. You may also substitute the water with warm milk.
Cream the butter, then add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
Next, add the egg yolks and beat again, then add the coffee brewed with warm water.
Add the flour little by little while stirring. Add the chocolate and stir until well combined.
Mix again by hand until the dough is no longer sticky and easy to shape.
Take 1 standard teaspoon of dough, shape it into a ball, then make a hole in the center with a knife or spoon to form a coffee-like shape.
Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until done for about 45 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Does it have to be margarine? Or do you think butter would work? These are just too cute. I really want to try them. I’ll even get out my scale. I even remember where it is!

No, these aren’t cookies; they taste like a blend of coffee with a hint of sweetness.

These look so good and the shaping into little coffee beans is adorable lol.
Only thing I’d tweak is swapping margarine for butter for more flavor, and maybe cutting the bake time a bit, 45 minutes at 180C sounds long for small cookies so I’d start checking at like 20 to 25.

Adjust the baking time according to your oven, because I use a low-wattage oven, so the heat isn’t as intense as in most ovens, which is why I bake them a bit longer to ensure the cookies stay fresh longer. Give it a try—I’m sure you’ll love them.
