These crispy cookies deliver a bold coffee punch with a satisfying snap. Infused with just a touch of warm spices, they’re the ultimate crunchy companion for your coffee or tea and a snap to make! Yields 40 cookies
2 and 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee granules, such as Gefen Nescafe, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water
3/4 cup Haddar Brown Sugar
1/3 cup margarine, softened
1 egg
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Extract or vanilla paste
2 cups flour (I used Shibolim White Spelt)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cardamom (optional but recommended)
1/4 cup golden or light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with Gefen Parchment Paper.
In the bowl of a mixer, place the sugar, margarine, egg, and vanilla. Beat together until light and fluffy. Add cooled dissolved coffee and mix. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom, if using. Mix until thoroughly incorporated. (At this point, if the dough is soft, you can chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.)
Mix together the topping ingredients in a small flat plate.
Using a small cookie scoop, form dough into cookies. (Have a small bowl with water nearby to dip the scoop into in between cookies.) Flatten cookies with a glass dipped into the sugar- cinnamon mixture. Alternately, you can use a fork dipped into the mixture, and do a crisscross design. When all the dough is finished, place trays in the oven and bake for nine minutes.
These cookies will harden as they cool. They freeze well.
