Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
  • 1 tablespoon hot water (to dissolve coffee granules)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a mixer, beating until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition to ensure full integration and smooth batter.
  4. Dissolve Coffee: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in one tablespoon of hot water until fully dissolved, then add this coffee liquid into the wet batter and mix thoroughly to distribute the coffee flavor evenly.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine the leavening and seasoning evenly.
  6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the flour is incorporated and no streaks remain—avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  7. Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to allow for slight spreading during baking.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown, indicating they are perfectly baked.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the baked cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture.

Notes

  • For more intense coffee flavor, increase instant coffee granules slightly.
  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for optimal creaming.
  • Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
