Short bread cookies are these crisp, buttery, coffeey (if i can say that) ?.
My mum had one and asked me if i can pack few for her. I said “Ofcourse i can”. I went into the kitchen and the bottle was empty. My husband who was standing there making tea had finished off the whole lot ??. When asked, he says “they were just too irresistible ?”.
Ingredients
1 cup – Butter, softened
¾ cup – Powdered sugar
1 tsp – Instant coffee powder
2½ cups – All-purpose flour
For the icing
2 tbsp – icing sugar
1 tbsp- instant coffee powder
Brown sugar for sprinkling (i bought something called as coffee sugar. Hence I have used that)
Method

In large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar and coffee powder using a electric mixer.
Stir in flour. Combine well to form a ball.Roll the dough into 1/4 inch thick in between two layers of grease proof paper or clingfilm.

These are SO gorgeous, and so perfect with coffee! Love the crinkle cut out, and how easy they are to put together – totally irresistible as your husband said. Stunning photos too <3
Hey thank you Claudia ?
Hi dear I think you need the check the recipe. There is something odd as when I tried making yesterday there was too much flour and wasn’t binding it, I had to add milk to it.
Hey Pridhi, the recipe is fine ? this is a recipe I have been using from years. Cream the butter and sugar for atleast 3 minutes and make sure the butter is completely soft. It does seem a little crumbly, just knead it and gather it together and roll it. It will come together. Hope this helps ?
