Tips

  • Use high-quality coffee: The flavor of the coffee is the star of these cookies, so use a coffee that you love the taste of.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This helps the cookies develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This allows the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion

These Italian coffee cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover coffee. With their rich coffee flavor and crispy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
