Tips:
- Use fresh coffee. Stale coffee will not produce as flavorful a coffee ball.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the coffee balls tough.
- Chill the dough before shaping. This will help the coffee balls hold their shape better.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the coffee balls so they can bake evenly.
- Bake the coffee balls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the coffee balls cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
