Coffee Bean Cookies

A recipe I have added to my 'To-Bake List' for not sure how long ago, maybe 2 years ago??  Yes, it's definitely years ago hehehe... ~ smile ~

This recipe is adapted online, not able to name the source as it's in Chinese, and thankful that the recipe and instructions have English added, or else I won't be able to bake it.

Ingredients:

150 g. Cake Flour (sifted)

15 g. cocoa powder (unsweetened)

9 g. coffee powder

45 g. caster sugar

75 g. unsalted butter (room temperature)

15 g. milk

1 1/2 g. baking powder (sifted)

Methods:

1. In a small pot, heat milk and coffee powder and stir until dissolved, then set aside to let it cool.
2. In a mixer bowl, add sugar and butter, beat until pale.  Then add flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.  Mix until well combined.  Add coffee milk to form a dough.  I add additional few teaspoons of milk as the dough is quite dry.
3. Divide dough into 10 gram portions, shape into coffee beans, press a line in the center, using the back of a small knife.
4. Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 degree Celsius (top heat) and 140 degree Celsius (bottom heat) for 14 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove the cookies on a wire rack to let it cool down.  Enjoy!
