Desserts containing coffee ingredients often prove irresistible to coffee lovers.

Today, I'll guide you step by step in making a special treat - non-bitter coffee bean cookies.

The opposing flavors of sweetness and bitterness merge beautifully, complementing each other while maintaining their distinct characteristics, creating a wonderful concerto.

Moreover, the final product looks remarkably similar to actual coffee beans - you might have trouble telling them apart!

Coffee Bean Cookies

by Ruiluan's Love

Ingredients

• Low-gluten flour - 105g
• Butter - 45g
• Powdered sugar - 30g
• Coffee powder - 13g
• Cocoa powder - 5g
• Whole egg - 25g

Instructions

1. Soften butter at room temperature, then place in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

2. Add powdered sugar and stir consistently in one direction with a hand whisk.

3. Add whole egg and continue mixing thoroughly.

4. Mix low-gluten flour, cocoa powder, and coffee powder evenly, then sift together into the mixed butter.

5. Fold the mixture evenly with a spatula.

6. Divide the dough into 3g portions. Take one portion and shape it into a small oval ball. Use a scraper to press a relatively deep groove in the middle of the ball.

7. Arrange all the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

8. Preheat oven to 170°C, middle rack, bake for 20 minutes.

Look at them - don't they look just like coffee beans? It's hard to tell the difference, isn't it?

Helpful Tips

✔ If you don't have cocoa powder, you can substitute with an equal amount of low-gluten flour.

✔ Use pure coffee powder, not 3-in-1 instant coffee mixes.

✔ Mix the low-gluten flour, coffee powder, and cocoa powder thoroughly before sifting together, otherwise the dough color will be uneven.

✔ Don't press the groove too deep with the scraper, otherwise the final product may break easily (you can also use the back of a thin knife). Also, make sure to find the exact center when pressing the groove, otherwise the final product will look unattractive.
