Coffee is life for us, let’s be honest, which is why these Dusted Coffee Cookies are pretty much the greatest thing in our lives right now. They’re effortlessly delicious and delightfully rich in coffee flavours. These cookies are dusted in cocoa, and it does pay to use good quality cocoa for it. The cocoa will be bitter, but that bitterness adds to the coffee flavour. If you aren’t sure about the cocoa, use is sparingly. These Dusted Coffee Cookies are definitely adults only, the flavour will probably be too much for kids.
Method
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
-
In a bowl add the butter, sugar and syrup and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and pale in colour
-
Add in the egg and vanilla and continue to beat. Then add the flour, cocoa powder, bicarb soda and ground coffee beans. Beat until mixture has just combined.
-
Roll dough into balls of around 2-3 tsp and place on baking trays. You'll need several trays if you're baking the cookies all at once.
-
Bake for 10-13 minutes, and then rest to cool on a rack for around 10 minutes.
-
Sift extra cocoa powder over the top as desired, for another bitter flavour that brings out the coffee.
