Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 4 ½ cups (576 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (224 g) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup freshly ground coffee beans, finely ground (espresso grind)

Coffee Glaze (Optional)

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking sheets: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream fats and sugars: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and confectioners’ sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
  4. Add eggs: Reduce mixer speed to medium, then add eggs one at a time, mixing just until each egg is incorporated before adding the next to maintain a smooth batter.
  5. Incorporate vanilla and coffee: Mix in the vanilla extract and finely ground coffee beans until fully blended, infusing the batter with robust coffee flavor.
  6. Add dry ingredients: Turn mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture in three batches, mixing gently and scraping the bowl sides between additions to combine everything evenly without overworking the dough.
  7. Portion the cookies: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each since the cookies will hold their shape and not spread much.
  8. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges just begin to turn a golden brown, indicating perfection.
  9. Prepare the glaze: While cookies bake, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and freshly brewed coffee in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  10. Glaze and serve: Once the cookies have cooled slightly or fully, drizzle the coffee glaze over them. Serve warm or at room temperature to enjoy the full flavor experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly ground coffee beans for maximum flavor.
  • The cookies don’t spread much during baking, so spacing them about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet is sufficient.
  • The coffee glaze is optional but adds a lovely complimentary flavor and appealing gloss to the cookies.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
  • Room temperature eggs and butter help achieve a smoother, better-mixed dough.
