Coffee Bean Cookies

Coffee Bean Cookies are shaped like real coffee beans with a crisp texture and strong coffee flavor. They are edible coffee beans for coffee lovers.
These Coffee Bean Cookies are not something new. I had seen these a long time ago and knew I had to make them. The plan had been long delayed, but I thought these cookies were gonna perfect as holiday cookies.
These cookies look so cute. They perfectly resemble the real coffee beans, don’t they? They also taste like coffee with a nice undertone of chocolate. The texture of these cookies resembles the crunchy, tender, and crisp shortbread cookies. The cookies are so addictive that you will run out of them quickly.
How to Shape the Coffee Bean Cookies
These cookies are so easy to shape and work with. Firstly, divide the dough into 1 teaspoon (8 gr) balls. Use a scale or scoop with a measuring spoon and level the top to make same-sized balls. Roll them into balls with your hands and gently roll them into ovals.
Once you are done shaping the balls, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, use a knife or something similar to press the middle like the picture below. Easy right?

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (75 gr) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup (80 gr) confectioners’ sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp (5 gr) instant coffee
- 2 tsp hot water
- 1 cup (120 gr) cake flour
- 3 tbsp (22 gr) cocoa powder
- 3 1/2 tbsp (25 gr) cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 340F/170°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir instant coffee with hot water until dissolved.
- In a medium bowl, combine cake flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Whisk in the egg yolk and coffee mixture until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until well incorporated. The dough will look crumbly at first, but it will eventually come together after some mixing.
- Scoop out 8 gr or a teaspoon of dough. Roll the dough into balls, then gently shape them into an oval. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Press the middle of each ball with a knife.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes. Cool on a wire rack completely before transferring them to an airtight container.

Hi Bettina,
Glad to hear from you again and enjoy the cookies. Unfortunately, my blog does not allow guests to upload the photos. If you have Instagram, you can tag me @jacintahalim. Thank you so much.
Simple to make, simple ingredients. No fancy processes, and they turned out great. Made a lot of little cookies!
I tried a different recipe for the same looking cookies and was super disappointed. But this one is perfect, they come out crispy with a distinct coffee flavor. Highly recommend!
