Steps:
- 1. Dissolve instant coffee in warm water. Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl.
- 2. Add egg, vanilla, and coffee to sugar mixture, until throughly mixed.
- 3. Mix in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- 4. Divide dought into 2 equal parts. Shape each half into 7-inch long roll by 1/2 inch wide (I generally use the width of 2 fingers).
- 5. Use a sheet either of Parchment Paper or Wax Paper for each roll of dough.
- 6. Roll dough (it will be sticky though, may use a little extra flour for rolling dough) into chocolate sprinkles, pressing lightly.
- 7. Wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1-1/2 hours or more.
- 8. Pull cookie dough out of refrigerator. Heat oven to 375 F.
- 9. Cut cookie dough roll into 1/4-inch slices.
- 10. Place slices 1/2 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet or stoneware.
- 11. Bake 6 to 9 minutes or until set. Cool on Rack.
- 12. BAKER'S NOTE: May substitute Starbucks Mocha powder, instead of instant coffee. Added Bonus - add Mini-Chocolate Chips to dough. YUM!
- 13. BAKER'S NOTE: Instead of rolling dough into a log, use a Small Scoop (1 T measurement) and scooping your cookie dough into balls, then roll into chocolate sprinkles. May take 2 or 3 minutes more to bake though! Enjoy!! :)

Tips:
- Use fresh spices. Freshly ground spices will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have freshly ground spices, you can use store-bought ground spices, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just set. If you bake the cookies for too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Coffee and spice drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your cookies turn out perfect every time. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet snack, be sure to give coffee and spice drop cookies a try!
