Posted in : BAKING RECIPES/BAKED GODDIES on July 1, 2020 by : Divya Suresh

One of the very easy cookie recipe, flavored using coffee decoction and shaped like coffee bean as well. I learnt this recipe from Sonia Gupta Ji, an awesome baking expert. It is very fun to make these goodies and I definitely enjoyed making them.

In the original recipe, Apf (all purpose flour) is being used along with a small amount of corn flour to get that crunchiness but I have replaced Apf with whole wheat flour and instead of corn flour I have put maize flour in the first batch and rice flour in the successive batches, till now I have made this cookie for four to five times because more than relishing I enjoy shaping them like a coffee bean and also they are so yummy and aromatic as this recipe uses chocolate powder and flavor as well And I am a big fan of chocolate taste/flavor, so anything made with chocolate powder/flavor automatically becomes my favorite.

Very recently I had made honey cake, using whole wheat flour and the recipe of which I will be sharing here asap. Now let’s see how to make these coffee bean cookies.

Ingredients : measurements in grams, makes 14 cookies of the shown size

Whole wheat flour – 80 gms
Cocoa powder (unsweetened) – 3 tbsp
Baking powder – 1/4 tsp
Coffee decoction – 1 tbsp
Colombian coffee flavor – 1/2 tsp (I haven’t put)
Salted butter (at room temperature) – 50 gms
Powdered sugar (I have put brown sugar) – 50 gms
Rice flour/maize flour – 1 tbsp

PROCEDURE :

To begin with take butter, powdered sugar and maize or rice flour in a parath/bowl, and using a spoon or your hand or electric whisker start mixing everything until it turns pale in color or creamy

Then add wheat flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and combine everything well lightly with your fingers

Then add the coffee decoction and coffee flavor (if using) and bind the flour. Do not knead the dough , just combine and bind it

Now shape it like a log and make 14 equal portions

Then take one portion, roll it well between your palm until smooth, make it in the oval shape, flatten a little and make a cut in the centre using butter knife, remember the cut should not be deep, otherwise the cookie will spread
