Ingredients
Show ingredients
- flour – 200 g;
- sour cream – 60 g;
- butter – 60 g;
- sugar – 80 g;
- egg yolk – 1 pc;
- cocoa powder – 15 g;
- instant coffee (fine ground) – 2 tsp;
- baking powder – ½ tsp;
- salt – a pinch.
Preparation
- Prepare the ingredients according to the list. All products should be at the same temperature, so they should be taken out of the refrigerator one to two hours before starting the preparation.
- First, let's prepare the dry ingredients.
- Mix the dry ingredients and sift them through a sieve. Sifting is essential since cocoa may have lumps that need to be broken up. The flour also needs to be sifted to aerate it. Set the prepared ingredients aside.
- In a deep bowl, where we will knead the dough, place the softened butter, add all the sugar and salt.
- Beat the mixture with a mixer or blender whisk for one to two minutes. Add the egg yolk to the mixture and beat for another couple of minutes.
- Add sour cream and instant coffee (the coffee should be finely ground). Beat for another couple of minutes.
- In two to three stages, add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Initially, knead the mixture using a spatula.
- When it becomes difficult to knead the mixture with the spatula, continue kneading it with your hands. Do not knead the dough for too long, or it will become too dense.
- Transfer the finished dough to food wrap, form a square or rectangle. Wrap it and place it in the freezer for thirty minutes.
- After thirty minutes, take the dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into equal parts. These will be our future cookies, and the smaller the squares, the corresponding size of the ‘beans’ will result.
- Form a ‘bean’ in three stages. First: from each piece, shape a round ‘ball’. Second: then roll the ‘ball’ into the shape of an ‘acorn’. Third: using a toothpick, press in a groove. In the end, we have a cookie preparation ‘coffee bean’.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them. By this time, the oven should already be preheated to t-180⁰ C.
- Bake the cookies in the oven for twenty to twenty-five minutes, top and bottom baking mode. The ‘coffee beans’ cookies should be soft, so be careful not to overbake them.
- Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool on the table.
- Coffee Beans Cookies can be lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Or you can leave them uncoated, making them look even more like natural coffee beans.
Serve the fragrant cookies with a cup of hot coffee, latte or cappuccino.
I recommend making Coffee Beans Cookies; you will definitely enjoy them, as will your family and loved ones.
