# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Dry ingredients
01 -
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
03 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
04 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Flavoring
05 -
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Wet ingredients
07 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
08 -
3/4 cup brown sugar
09 -
1 large egg
→ For rolling
10 -
1/4 cup granulated sugar
11 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar
# How to Make It:
01 -
Mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until everything's well blended.
02 -
Put the instant coffee and vanilla extract in a small bowl and stir them together until the coffee completely dissolves.
03 -
Mix the melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer or strong whisk until they're nice and smooth. Toss in the egg and coffee mixture. Blend everything until it's all mixed up.
04 -
Pour the dry stuff into your wet mixture. Just stir until everything comes together - don't overdo it or your cookies won't be soft.
05 -
Wrap up your dough and stick it in the fridge for 30 minutes so it can get firmer.
06 -
Take your chilled dough, scoop small bits, and roll them into balls. First roll each ball in regular sugar, then coat it with powdered sugar to get that cool crackle look.
07 -
Put your sugar-coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they're spaced out since they'll spread. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until the tops crack and the edges set up.
08 -
Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then move them to a wire rack. You can eat them warm or when they cool down completely.
09 -
After they've cooled down, put them in an airtight container. They'll stay good for 5 days at room temp or you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Letting the dough chill makes those crinkles show up better and gives you a softer, chewier cookie.
02 -
Go for good quality instant coffee to get the tastiest flavor in your cookies.
03 -
Throw in a tiny bit of nutmeg or cardamom with your dry stuff if you want more spice kick.
04 -
Want something different? Toss in some mini chocolate chips for a yummy mocha flavor.
05 -
You can make the dough a day ahead and keep it cold, just roll and coat the balls right before baking.
