How to Make Brazilian Coffee Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup instant coffee granules, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Gently flatten each ball with a fork dipped in granulated sugar, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  8. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
