Soft, chewy cookies with a crackly sugar-coated exterior, infused with cinnamon and coffee flavors—perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and dissolved coffee granules. Beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to make the dough easier to handle.
  7. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and coat generously in powdered sugar.
  8. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are crackled and the edges are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough to prevent spreading and ensure crinkles.’, ‘Use fresh coffee granules for optimal flavor.’, ‘Roll generously in powdered sugar for a pronounced crinkle effect.’, ‘Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.’, ‘Test one cookie first to adjust baking time for your oven.’]
