Ingredients

Cookies

  • 3 Tablespoons coffee beans coarsely ground
  • 1/3 cup turbinado sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg

Glaze

  • 1 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 + teaspoons milk or water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 350-degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1 Tablespoon of ground coffee with the turbinado sugar. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the rest of the coffee with the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • In a big bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy; using beaters, about 3 minutes. Add the egg. Gradually stir in the flour mixture.
  • Drop a teaspoon of dough into the coffee and raw sugar, and roll to cover. Place on parchment with two inches of space to allow for spread.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until set but still soft. Let cool on pane for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to fully cool.
  • Once all of the cookies are baked, make the glaze. Stir together the confectioners' sugar and liquid of choice until the glaze is thick but spreadable. Use the back of a spoon to glaze each cookie. Let set about 15 minutes before packing in sealable containers, wax paper between the stacked layers.
  • OM NOM NOM!
