Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee (strongly brewed) or 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. This ensures the spices and leavening are well distributed throughout the dough.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the brewed coffee or prepared instant coffee until incorporated.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft but hold together.
  4. Scoop dough onto baking sheet: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are set and have a crinkled appearance. The edges should be lightly golden but the centers should remain soft.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with your favorite coffee or tea.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or double the amount of brewed coffee.
  • Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the sugar by up to 1/4 cup.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies freeze well; freeze baked cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
