Recipe Introduction


Simple cookies with a delicious cinnamon and coffee flavor.


List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon instant coffee crystals
1 Tablespoon hot water
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup shortening
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour



Recipe



Stir the coffee crystals into 1 tablespoon hot water until dissolved and set aside.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer beat together the butter and the shortening for about 45 seconds or until well blended. Add sugars, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg, baking soda, salt, and the cloves, beat until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time just until combined. Add the vanilla and the coffee mixture, beat until combined. Beat in the flour a little at a time until well combined.

Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle. May also be refrigerated overnight.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease. In s small bowl stir together the â…“ cup granulated sugar and the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. Place 3 inches apart onto the cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. The centers will look a little underdone. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 3 to 4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
