Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
  • 1 teaspoon water, warm
  • 1/2 stick butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

How To Make coffee spice cookies!

  • Step 1
    Dissolve instant coffee in warm water. Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl.
  • Step 2
    Add egg, vanilla, and coffee to sugar mixture, until throughly mixed.
  • Step 3
    Mix in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Step 4
    Divide dought into 2 equal parts. Shape each half into 7-inch long roll by 1/2 inch wide (I generally use the width of 2 fingers).
  • Step 5
    Use a sheet either of Parchment Paper or Wax Paper for each roll of dough.
  • Step 6
    Roll dough (it will be sticky though, may use a little extra flour for rolling dough) into chocolate sprinkles, pressing lightly.
  • Step 7
    Wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1-1/2 hours or more.
  • Step 8
    Pull cookie dough out of refrigerator. Heat oven to 375 F.
  • Step 9
    Cut cookie dough roll into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Step 10
    Place slices 1/2 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet or stoneware.
  • Step 11
    Bake 6 to 9 minutes or until set. Cool on Rack.
  • Step 12
    BAKER'S NOTE: May substitute Starbucks Mocha powder, instead of instant coffee. Added Bonus - add Mini-Chocolate Chips to dough. YUM!
  • Step 13
    BAKER'S NOTE: Instead of rolling dough into a log, use a Small Scoop (1 T measurement) and scooping your cookie dough into balls, then roll into chocolate sprinkles. May take 2 or 3 minutes more to bake though! Enjoy!! :)
