Look at those coffee beans! No wait ! These are cookies, people! Who here likes waking up to a cup of steaming hot coffee? Especially when you set the coffee pot to start right when you up! We like a little bit of coffee in some of our desserts too, like the No-Egg Tiramisu we made. We were looking around for another go at a coffee flavor recipe and we came up these small really cute cookies that are shaped like coffee beans! As usual we snooped around for an eggless one and found one. So if you all like coffee flavored small bite sized desserts, then this would be an awesome place to start.

This is going to be another easy one. Not too much of work and just a little bit of prep work. Key thing to notice is the butter. It has to be soft. If you get cold hard butter, its going to be particularly difficult to work the dough. You can find more of these little tips under the ‘Tips’ part. For now lets read a bit into coffee.

Little bit about coffee

People know a lot about the best cafes and the best roasts of coffee available in the market. Mocha, cold brew, espresso and the lots. Yet, no one knows anything about where it originated! I am guilty as well.

It actually dates back to the 15th century with some earlier reports of its first use from legends. There are some substantiated evidence for its appearance in Sufi monasteries in Yemen, slowly trickled to the Middle East, South India and on it goes with time.

Out of the many legends, one I found interesting is of an individual who was starving and ended up eating berries from a nearby shrub. Due to the bitter taste he tried roasting it and then boiled it which created a fragrant brown liquid which upon drinking gave him an aura of energy. With little bit of exaggeration and people predisposition to believe anything, it ended up being called a miracle drug and the individual was made a saint.

Tips

Butter: It has to be at room temperature and it has to be SOFT. You should be able to push through it with your finger without putting much effort. If you want the butter to soften fast, try cutting up the butter into small half inch slices and let it sit at room temperature.
If dough is too sticky sprinkle little bit of flour and mix. Keep repeating to a point when its not too sticky.

  I’m so glad someone asked. I was thinking it was corn meal!

  Sorry about the confusion. They are used interchangeably in different regions 🙂

  Corn flour is not the same as corn starch. Corn starch is finer and pure white. Corn flour is not as pure and looks more like all purpose flour.
