Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 g instant coffee powder 1 tsp
  • 15 g hot water 1 tbsp
  • 100 g Butter (room temperature, unsalted) 7 tbsp
  • 100 g powdered sugar ¾ cup
  • 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • 140 g all-purpose flour 1 cup + 2 tbsp
  • 50 g cornstarch 1/3 cup
  • 15 g cocoa powder 2 tbsp
  • A pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve instant coffee powder in hot water. Stir well and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in egg yolk until fully combined, then pour in the coffee mixture and mix again.
  4. Sift in all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
  5. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.
  6. Roll the dough into small oval balls (7-9g each). Place them on a lined baking tray and use the blunt side of a knife to press down the centre, creating a coffee bean shape.
  7. Place the tray in the freezer while preheating the oven to 170°C (338°F), for about 10 minutes.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes.
  9. Let the cookies sit on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
