These cookies smell and taste like fresh morning coffee. They also look cute on a cookie plate. You can easily make them at home with just a few ingredients. The coffee bean cookies are perfect for snacking and gift-giving. You can find a detailed recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
With taste and aroma of fresh coffee
These coffee bean shaped cookies give off an irresistible aroma of fresh coffee. They also have a distinct coffee flavor. Along with the coffee nut bundt cake and the coffee cake muffins, these cookies are the ideal treat for all coffee lovers.
How to modify the coffee bean cookie recipe
You can modify the coffee bean cookie recipe to suit your taste, similar to the tree stump cookies, button cookies, or Christmas wreath cookies recipes.
I added a tablespoon of instant coffee to the dough. If you want to reduce the coffee flavor of your cookies, use about half a tablespoon instead.
Depending on how sweet you like your cookies, you can use a little more or less powdered sugar. With the amount specified in the recipe, they taste moderately sweet.
Cornstarch gives the coffee bean cookies a particularly delicate texture that melts in your mouth, similar to the vanilla crescents, the snowflake cookies, the ice cream scoop cookies, the chocolate vanilla cookies, or the spritz cookies. If you want them to be firmer, replace the ingredient with the same amount of flour.
Thanks to the cocoa, the coffee bean cookies have a slight chocolate flavor. For more chocolate flavor, you can dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate after baking.
Once cooled, the cookies are slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you like them crispier, bake them for a few minutes longer. Be careful not to burn them.
For coffee, snacking, and gift-giving
The coffee bean cookies are a great accompaniment to a cup of coffee. Serve them alongside the butter cookies, the rogaliki with jam, and the sugar korzhiki for dessert after a meal.
The cookies are also perfect for snacking between meals. They are a fancy eye-catcher on the cookie plate, alongside the many other fancy cookies.
What’s more, you can give these cute coffee bean shaped cookies as gifts, just like the “Gribochki”, the chocolate pine cone cookies, or the walnut ghriba. Package them nicely, for example in a pretty glass jar or an engraved glass jar, and surprise your loved ones with these sweet treats at Christmas.
