Preparation Steps
1
Allow the butter to soften at room temperature until pliable. This will help create a soft and homogenous cookie dough.
2
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in hot water and let it cool completely.
3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer for easier creaming.
4
Add the vanilla extract, salt, egg, and dissolved coffee to the butter mixture. Mix thoroughly until a uniform batter is formed.
5
Gradually sift in the flour and mix with a spatula or by hand until a moldable, non-sticky dough forms.
6
Shape the dough into a large ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies retain their shape during baking.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 5 mm thick. Cut out cookies in desired shapes using cookie cutters.
9
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them as they will spread slightly during baking.
10
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
11
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack, then serve or store in an airtight container.
