Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee powder
- 1 tablespoon Hot water
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 20 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee powder in the hot water. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the dissolved coffee mixture and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue mixing until well combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
Step 7
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Lightly press down on each dough ball with the back of a fork, creating a slight indent for a classic cookie look.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve the cookies once fully cooled, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
