Deliciously buttery cookies infused with coffee flavor, perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy evenings.

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon coffee grounds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add coffee grounds and vanilla extract, blending until fully incorporated.
Beat in the egg until fully combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Using a small cookie scoop, portion out dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
Allow to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar once cooled.

For a gluten-free option, consider substituting all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour.
