Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 38 minutes

Ingredients

For the Cookie Base
1 tablespoon instant coffee
2 tablespoons hot water
1 cup icing sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg, beaten
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For Decoration
1 cup melted dark chocolate
1/4 cup chopped pistachios

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Dissolve instant coffee in hot water and let it cool. This helps the coffee flavor blend smoothly throughout the dough.

Step 2

Cream the butter with icing sugar until light in color and fluffy. A well creamed butter base ensures soft and airy cookies.

Step 3

Add the beaten egg into the creamed mixture and mix until fully combined.

Step 4

Whisk flour, cornstarch, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl.

Step 5

Fold the cooled coffee mixture into the creamed butter, then gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 7

Freeze the piped cookies for 5 to 10 minutes to help them maintain their shape during baking.

Step 8

Bake at 350°F for approximately 8 minutes until edges turn light golden.

Step 9

Once cooled, dip cookies halfway in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.

Pro Tips

Chill piped cookies before baking to prevent spreading.
Do not overbake. Lightly golden edges guarantee a soft, buttery center.
Always let the coffee mixture cool completely before adding it to the dough.
Experiment with toppings such as almonds or white chocolate for variation.
