Coffee Flavored Sugar Cookies

Coffee Flavored Sugar Cookies are a recipe that is simple enough to be made any day, but the flavors are elegant, subtle, and delicious.

I discovered these coffee-flavored sugar cookies during one of my vacations in Romania a few years ago.  I just loved the cookies. I had no idea these simple sugar cookies flavored with coffee could be that good.

I always thought that sugar cookies are pretty boring, and I was not quite into them, but coffee-flavored sugar cookies are something else! If you love coffee, it is mandatory to try them.

They are a delicious sweet treat to enjoy with a tall glass of milk, a cup of tea, or, obviously, coffee (you should try my delicious Turkish coffee recipe).

They also make an awesome gift to any coffee lover, especially around holidays. I think they would make a great addition to a party, graduation, wedding shower, or anything in between.

The cookies are easy to make; after all, these are sugar cookies that most people can put together even if they are not experienced, bakers. The secret is always in good quality ingredients, time in the oven, and love.

For this recipe I used instant espresso coffee. I like using this type of coffee in baking.

It is soluble, making it easier to incorporate in the recipe, has a fragrant coffee taste, and perfect for a lot of recipes. I always have a jar in the pantry, just for baking.

However, if you do not like coffee, these cookies can be flavored with other things. The most popular flavors are cinnamon or vanilla, but you can also use almond flavor, rum or even lemon. 

These cookies are elegant, simple, and not very sweet. The hint of coffee is subtle yet enough to bring pleasure to your taste buds.

Overall, a great recipe that is modest enough to get forgotten, but as soon as you discover it, it will stay in your collection of recipes forever.

Can I freeze these cookies?

The dough can be made in advance and kept in the freezer for later use. You can also freeze the already baked cookies, but I prefer to freeze the dough and bake the cookies when I need them. The smell and aroma of fresh-baked cookies are the best.

Here is an article that talks more about freezing dough or already baked cookies.

Decorating the cookies:

You can decorate these cookies as you like. Someone asked me if I do any flood frosting on them. I personally never did the flood frosting, as I do not have any experience on the matter, but if you do, this recipe is great for it.

It is a sturdy cookie, and I think it will stand out from other decorated sugar cookies, as it has a delicious flavor.
