This is another new recipe for me. I've had this recipe marked in one of m y cookbook pamphlet thingies for several years and decided this was the year to finally try them. Now I wish I had done it sooner!
Brazilian Coffee Cookies
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 TBS milk (or cream)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
2 TBS powdered instant coffee (I used Folger's crystals and I like the look of the specks in the dough!)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
Mix sugars, butter, milk, vanilla and egg until well combined. Stir in remaining ingredients, blending well. Shape into 1" balls (mine were bigger, so I didn't get the correct yield). Place about 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten to about 1/8" thickness: grease the bottom of a glass, dip in sugar and press on each cookie, re-sugaring as needed. Bake at 400 for 7 - 8 minutes.
These cookies are crisp on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. What more can you ask from a cookies?? If you're sensitive to caffeine, you might want to use decaf.
