Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the room temperature butter, oil, eggs, vanilla, Nescafe, and powdered sugar.
-
Using a hand whisk or a wooden spoon, mix until the mixture is light, creamy, and well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, add salt and the baking powder to the flour.
-
Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add the dry ingredient mixture directly to the creamy coffee mixture.
-
Do not use an electric mixer or knead the dough. Instead, gently mix with a spoon or spatula until the flour just disappears and a soft dough forms. Stop mixing immediately once the dough comes together.
-
Prepare a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle. Fill the piping bag (do not overfill it) with the dough.
-
Pipe the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper (ensure it's not wax paper). Leave some space between each cookie.
-
For the classic coffee bean shape, make a small indentation in the center of each cookie using a chopstick or the back of a spoon.
-
If you prefer not to pipe, take a portion of the dough and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until it firms up.
-
Once chilled, roll small portions of the dough into balls, then shape them by hand into desired forms. Create an indentation in the center of each, if desired.
-
Preheat your oven to 170°C.
-
Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The baking time may vary depending on your oven and cookie size.
-
Once baked, do not remove the cookies from the baking sheet immediately. Allow them to cool completely on the sheet before handling. They will firm up as they cool.
-
Melt some chocolate (dark, milk, or white) using a double boiler or microwave. Drizzle or dip the cooled cookies in the melted chocolate as desired.
