Classic Latte Cookies with Vanilla and Espresso Glaze
These cookies combine rich espresso flavor and a touch of vanilla, finished off with a delightful glaze that enhances their coffee essence. Perfect for coffee lovers!
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 125 g unsalted butter, softened
- 100 g brown sugar
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 50 g espresso powder (or finely ground coffee beans)
- 100 g chopped dark chocolate (optional, for added richness)
For the Espresso Glaze:
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 30 ml brewed espresso (cooled)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Mix the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
Blend Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, blending until just combined. If you’re using chopped dark chocolate, fold it in gently.
Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them a few centimeters apart to allow for spreading.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked, which is perfect.
Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cooled espresso, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the espresso glaze over the top of each cookie using a fork or piping bag.
Flavor Profile
These cookies are an exquisite balance of rich coffee flavors from the espresso powder and a touch of sweetness from the sugars. The vanilla adds depth, while the optional dark chocolate pieces provide delightful bursts of chocolatey goodness. The glaze, with its smooth and sweet espresso finish, ties the entire experience together beautifully.
