Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup Kahlua or coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, for rolling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the cooled coffee and Kahlua (if using) until fully incorporated. The dough will be soft.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for rolling.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls.
- Generously roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
- Place the coated cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, you can use espresso.
- Ensure the coffee is completely cooled before adding it to the dough to prevent it from cooking the eggs.
- Chilling the dough is important for the crinkle effect and to make it easier to handle.
