Soft and fudgy cocoa coffee beans cookies that are shaped to resemble the coffee beans.
Good morning guys! I am sure it will be a great day and you will have lots of energy, especially after eating these cute little coffee beans cookies. How cool are these! So, get ready to read further the best recipe for coffee beans cookies you will ever need!
I want to point out that I am not a genius behind the idea to make cookies that will resemble coffee beans. Damn, I wish it was me, but nope! Maybe next time!
The idea to make a cookie that resemble a coffee bean has been born in Korea, unfortunately I do not know the author, so if you know the name behind the idea, please let me know so I can give credit.
The recipe itself is quite basic but bloody hell, there is so many recipes for these cookies on the Internet that I have decided to make my own and after a few trials and errors, this is my version of the best coffee beans cookies.
Are coffee beans cookies easy to make?
Yes, they are very easy to make. This recipe is perfect for a beginner. They only think you need to do is to mix all the ingredients together following the steps in a recipe card. In my opinion the most difficult and time-consuming part is to shape cookie dough into coffee beans shapes. This is it, there is no real science behind it.
Coffee beans cookies are crispy on the outside and fudgy in the inside, wit a prominent coffee flavour (thanks to adding a real espresso liquid and coffee grinds). These cookies will not disappoint!
