Irresistible Coffee Sugar Cookies are buttery, tender, and infused with bold espresso flavor, offering a sophisticated twist on classic sugar cookies perfect for any coffee lover.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder (or finely ground instant coffee)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons milk, if dough feels too dry
  • Optional: extra sugar or cinnamon sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Add milk if the dough feels crumbly.
  6. Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into balls, flatten slightly, and place on a lined baking sheet. Roll in sugar if desired.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use instant espresso for the best flavor; it dissolves easily and provides a bold taste.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Adjust the amount of espresso powder to your preference: use 1 tbsp for a subtle flavor or up to 3 tbsp for a strong coffee flavor.
  • Avoid using brewed coffee as it adds too much liquid to the dough.
  • Consider pairing these coffee sugar cookies with a chocolate drizzle or Nutella for added indulgence.
