How to Make Coffee Sugar Cookies?
Step 1
Take a large bowl for the major mixing purposes. Now, you have to mix a few things — coconut oil, butter & sugar. Here, you have two options. You can either use a hand-mixer or counter-top mixer. If you don’t have one of those gadgets, free feel to mix using your clean, bare hands. Either way, just make sure that its final mixture is smooth. The mixing action should be vigorous and consistent. Also, you can seek the help of soft coconut oil for the extended easiness.
Step 2
Now, you have to get another small bowl, where you have to mix egg and butter. Whisk the large egg first, and then add the butter mixture. Also, you will have to insert the vanilla extract and ground coffee into the same bowl. After that, you can cream all those added ingredients in a smooth manner.
Step 3
Take another bowl from the countertop and you are going to make a mixture of flour, baking soda and baking powder. Once you have made the mixture, you can pour the same into the butter mixture we just made. Let the combination wait for a few seconds — until it gets firm.
Once it’s ready you will have to let it chill.
Step 4
Here, you need the help of your oven. Make sure that you have preheated the oven at 350F. Get a floured surface and pour the thick mixture onto it. You have to adjust the thickness in an even manner. Once you’ve got it from the oven, you can use a knife or cookie cutter to choose the right shape.
Depending on the crispness you prefer, you can adjust the baking time. At the end, make sure that you let the cookies cool for a sufficient amount of time. If you don’t let it cool completely, icing would be a bit tough.
Now, we have to spend some time for making the icing as well.
Step 5
First of all, you have to create a mixture of powdered sugar and coffee. It needs to be noted that you are to make a thick icing.
Step 6
Once that’s ready, you have to pour it on the cookies, right? Here too, you have 2 options to choose. Either, you can go for a pastry bag. Or, if you don’t have one, you have the freedom to fill the icing in a plastic bag and cut one corner. And, then, you can pour the icing in desired shape by applying proper pressure onto the bag.
