Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee granules

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg

For Rolling

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
  3. Dissolve Coffee: Stir the instant coffee granules into the vanilla extract until fully dissolved, enhancing the flavor release.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Add the egg and the coffee-vanilla mixture, mixing thoroughly to incorporate all elements.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until the dough is just combined without overmixing.
  6. Form Dough Balls: Shape the dough into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball first in granulated sugar and then coat with powdered sugar for a crinkled effect.
  7. Arrange and Bake: Place the sugar-coated dough balls spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, preserving their soft texture.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase instant coffee granules to 3 tablespoons.
  • Ensure the dough balls are evenly sized for uniform baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
  • Use fresh cinnamon for the best aromatic impact.
  • These cookies can be frozen after baking for up to 2 months.
