Coffee Cookie Recipe:

Ingredients

• 185 g butter (cold)
• 1/2 cup (75g) powdered sugar
• 1 cup of flour (baklava pastry flour)
• 1/2 cup (75g) wheat starch
• 1 tablespoon (35g) of Turkish coffee
• 4 tablespoons (50g) cocoa
• 1 packet (10g) baking powder
• 2 packets of vanilla extract with anise (10g)
• 2 eggs

Coffee Cookie Recipe: Preparation

• Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly by hand until well combined,
• Add the cold butter and rub it into the mixture until it resembles sea sand, just like in a pie crust,
• Add 2 eggs and bring the dough together,
• Let the dough rest for 15 minutes
• Form the dough into small balls, each weighing 13 grams,
• Preheat your oven to 180 degrees,
• Roll the dough balls in your palm until they’re about the size of a marble; as you shape them with a rolling pin, they’ll look like coffee beans,
• To shape the dough into coffee beans, press down with a stick or toothpick until it reaches halfway through the dough,
• Since they will puff up while baking, gently press down on each one with your hand to close the cracks in the seeds so they retain their shape,
• Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 18–22 minutes, until the aroma of coffee and molasses becomes strong.
