I discovered these coffee flavored sugar cookies during my vacation in Romania last year. 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. Since I discovered these cookies, I fell in love with them.
