The cookies are easy to prepare. Although you will have to chill the dough for at least 3 hours, otherwise everything is done quickly, including baking - 10 minutes.
Ingredients:
- a) cocoa - 25 g,
- b) baking powder - 0.5 teaspoons,
- c) butter - 60 g,
- d) salt - a pinch,
- e) flour - 220 g,
- e) powdered sugar - 120 g,
- g) eggs - either 3 yolks, or 1 whole,
- h) sour cream - 35 g,
- i) instant coffee - 10 g.
All foods must be warmed up and at room temperature before cooking.
Preparing cookies:
1. Beat soft salted butter with powder.
2. Add one yolk at a time, beating the mixture after each time.
3. The yolk-butter mixture should become homogeneous.
4. Add sour cream and coffee, the granules of which are best ground first or then whisked longer with the rest of the ingredients.
5. Sift all dry ingredients into the total mass.
6. Stir the mixture with a spatula. The dough turns out sticky and needs to be cooled, covered with film.It is better to do this at night, but 3 hours will be enough.
7. Pinch off the desired piece size from the chilled dough and roll into an oblong bean. It should be noted that the smaller the coffee cookies, the more interesting they look, but you will have to spend more time on such a minuscule amount. The optimal size of rolled beans is 2.5-3 cm.
8. Use the back of the knife to make a deep hollow.
9. Place coffee beans on a baking sheet. It is important not to dry them out - 10 minutes is enough. when heating the oven 190 degrees.
While still hot, cookies for coffee lovers have a soft structure, but after cooling, a thin crust forms, protecting the center from drying out.
What to serve these cookies with? The answer suggests itself - with a cup of coffee, of course!
