Coffee Bean Biscuits


These buttery coffee-flavored cookies are shaped like cute coffee beans.
If you're stuck at home and looking for a quick baking project, they don't take a lot of ingredients to make so let's get started!
Ingredients


Ingredients:
- 120g Cake flour
- 12g Cocoa powder
- 25g Corn starch
- 70g Icing Sugar
- One egg yolk
-
75g unsalted room temp butter
-
a splash of hot water (about 6g)
-
5g Instant coffee powder
*Note: the corn starch is super helpful for making the cookie soft and allowing it to hold its shape during baking!
Make the Coffee


Take your instant coffee and add a small splash of hot water. We're looking to have a concentrated coffee mixture that won't water down our dough.
Cream Together Your Butter and Sugar



Add Your Egg Yolk


Add Coffee to the Mix


Pour slowly to ensure that the wet mixture doesn't get too watered down.
Sift in Your Dry Ingredients


To the creamed butter add your flour, corn starch, and cocoa. Mix until you get a ball of dough. It shouldn't be too sticky.
Shape the Cookies




Prepare a lined baking sheet with parchment paper.
I used a scale to measure out 10g balls of cookie dough and rolled them into ovals.
Take the back of a knife or a dough scraper-- anything with a 1mm thickness-- and press it into the ovals to get your coffee bean shapes.
Chill the Shaped Cookies for Half an Hour
In the freezer, they can chill for a shorter amount of time.
Preheat Your Oven and Bake



After they've been chilled, preheat to 140 degrees Celsius or 280 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes.
Enjoy Your Cookies!

I had mine with the TikTok trending dalgona coffee for a double caffeine boost :)
These cookies would go nicely with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea for an afternoon snack.
