Description
Coffee Cookies are bold, cozy bites with a rich coffee kick, chewy centers, and chocolatey pockets. The recipe blends instant coffee with brown sugar, butter, and vanilla for a fragrant, fudgy texture and a hint of cinnamon. Easy to make without a mixer, these cookies come together quickly and bake up with just the right balance of chewy centers and slightly crisp edges. Perfect for coffee lovers, dunking, or any dessert platter. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
