Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prep for baking the cookies afterward.
• Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the hot water and set it aside to cool while you work on the dough.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until it’s light and fluffy. You can tell when it’s right by how soft and whipped it feels.
• Add the cooled coffee mixture and vanilla extract to the butter sugar mix. Stir it in good until all mixed.
• Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms that’s ready for shaping. Don’t overmix or it gets tough.
• Take spoonfuls of dough, roll into balls, and place on your lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with a fork to get those cookie marks.
• Bake them in your heated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges turn a light golden color. Watch them closely near the end!
• Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pan before moving them to a wire rack so they set right and tender pull happens.
