Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar, plus extra for coating
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup finely ground coffee or espresso
- ½ cup finely chopped nuts (optional, almonds or walnuts recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter with ½ cup powdered sugar until fluffy.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, coffee, and optional nuts.
- Mix Together: Gradually fold dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies soft.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop dough by tablespoons and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake: 12–15 minutes until edges are firm but centers remain soft. Let cookies cool briefly on the sheet.
- Coat with Sugar: Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar until fully covered for that snowy effect.
- Cool Completely: Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool before serving.
Notes
- Adjust coffee strength to taste.
- Nuts are optional but add texture and flavor.
- Store properly to maintain softness and freshness.
