Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat softened butter with brown sugar and half the white sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Then add the instant coffee.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until dough forms. Don’t overmix.
- Put remaining white sugar in a small bowl. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and coat in sugar.
- Place dough balls on baking sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set.
- Let cookies rest on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
- Use a steam-prepped pressure cooker to help maintain warm moisture levels while oven baking to enhance chewiness.
Notes
Room temperature butter and eggs help create evenly mixed dough. Rolling in sugar creates lovely crisp on the outside. Optional dough chilling deepens flavor but isn’t required.
