  • 15 g hot water 1 tbsp
  • 100 g Butter (room temperature, unsalted) 7 tbsp
  • 100 g powdered sugar ¾ cup

  • 140 g all-purpose flour 1 cup + 2 tbsp
  • 50 g cornstarch 1/3 cup

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, dissolve instant coffee powder in hot water. Stir well and set aside to cool slightly.
