    Reasons to Adore These Cookies

    Coffee Flavored Sugar Cookies are an easy-to-make recipe that boasts elegant, subtle, and delightful flavors. If you are a coffee lover, these cookies are a must-try.

    They make a sweet treat to enjoy with a glass of milk, a cup of tea, or, of course, coffee.

    They also make an excellent gift for any coffee lover, especially during the holidays.

    These cookies are perfect for any occasion, be it a party, graduation, wedding shower, or anything in between.

    The secret for these lovely, simple cookies lies in using quality ingredients, giving the cookies enough time in the oven, and baking them with love.

    Why this recipe works

    • A tasty and fun alternative to traditional sugar cookies.
    • Easy to make and perfect for coffee lovers.
    • They are versatile and easy to decorate in a variety of ways, making them great for any occasion.

    What ingredients to use

    To make these coffee-flavored sugar cookies, you will need unsalted butter, egg yolks, powdered sugar, salt, some milk, all-purpose flour, baking powder, instant coffee powder (dissolved in some water), or coffee extract.

    *You can also make these cookies gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.

    Note about instant coffee: I used instant espresso coffee. This type of coffee is soluble, making it easy to incorporate into the recipe, and it has a fragrant coffee taste, making it perfect for baking.

    However, if you do not like coffee, you can use other flavors like cinnamon or vanilla, almond flavor, rum, or even lemon.

    Quick Instructions

    Step 1. Preheat oven and dissolve the instant coffee in water. Set aside.

    Step 2. Cream butter and sugar.

    Step3. Add the wet ingredients.

    Step 4. Add the dry ingredients.

    Step 5. Refrigerate dough. (If you're short on time, you can make the dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days before rolling it out and baking it.)

    Step 6. Roll the dough and cut the cookies in the shape desired. (If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or other cylindrical object to roll out the dough.)

    Step 7. Bake.

    Step 8. Allow the cookies to rest before moving them to a wire rack.

    Step 9. Decorate the cookies. This is not mandatory, but you can use any icing recipe you like.

    FAQs

    Can I freeze these coffee flavored sugar cookies?

    Yes, they freeze well too. However, you can also freeze the dough and bake the cookies later when needed. Here is how to do it:
    Baked cookies: these cookies freeze well for up to six months. Layer them between sheets of wax paper in a freezer-safe container, to prevent them from sticking together. To thaw the frozen baked cookies, take them out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours before serving.
    Cookie dough: freezes well for up to three months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag.
    To thaw the frozen dough, simply remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before rolling it out.
    Make sure to label the bag with the date and type of cookie so you can easily identify it later on.

    How do I store these sugar cookies flavored with coffee?

    Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
    If you want to keep the cookies fresh for longer, you can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    Expert tips

    • Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
    • Chill the dough before rolling it out to prevent it from sticking to the surface.
    • If the dough gets too warm and difficult to work with, put it back in the fridge to chill for a bit before continuing.
    • Don't overbake the cookies. They should be lightly golden around the edges.
    • Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

    Decorating the cookies

    You can decorate these cookies as you like. I have never tried flood frosting on them, but this recipe is great for it. It is a sturdy cookie that stands out from other decorated sugar cookies with its delicious flavor.

    You can use icing, frosting, sprinkles, or any other decorations you like. Just be sure to wait until the cookies are completely cool before adding any decorations, or they may melt or slide off.

      Just took a pic, but not sure how to send it! I followed the recipe exactly other than using 2 tsp of espresso coffee. Tasty! An elite sort of cookie/flavor! I rolled them into 2 'logs', refrigerated them overnight, then sliced & baked the next day, first rolling in sugar. Decided to frost them with a simple mix of XXX sugar, heavy cream & more coffee powder. Thanks for the unique recipe! Will serve at my mom's Christmas brunch this year!

        It is not a soft cookie. It is a sugar cookie flavored with coffee. Great for decorating also.
