Coffee-Infused Brown Sugar Cookies
Soft brown sugar cookies with a bold coffee twist. A dangerously addictive balance of sweet, rich, and slightly bitter flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ¼ cups brown sugar packed
- 2 tbsp instant coffee or espresso powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Add instant coffee, egg, and vanilla, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Try not to eat them all at once.
- Store in an airtight container—if they last that long.
