Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 cup | Margarine |
| 1/2 cup | Sugar |
| 3 tbsp | Kahlua |
| 1 | Egg |
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1 1/2 tsp | Instant Coffee Granules |
| 1/2 tsp | Ground Cinnamon |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 2 tbsp | Powdered Sugar |
| 1/2 tbsp | Cocoa Powder |
Instructions:
-
Cream Margarine: In a medium bowl, cream the margarine until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating at a medium speed with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the Kahlua and egg to the creamed mixture, beating well until fully combined.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour, instant coffee granules, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating at low speed with an electric mixer until the ingredients are well blended and a dough forms.
-
Chill Dough: Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This will help firm up the dough and make it easier to handle.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare cookie sheets by coating them with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. This mixture will be used to coat the cookie dough balls.
-
Shape Dough: Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Shape it into 1-inch balls using your hands.
-
Coat Cookies: Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar and cocoa mixture until evenly coated.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Flatten Cookies: Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 9 minutes, or until they are set and slightly golden around the edges.
-
Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delicious Kahlua Cookies with your favorite hot beverage or as a sweet treat any time of day!
These Kahlua Cookies are a delightful combination of rich flavors and irresistible texture, making them the perfect choice for any cookie lover. Whether you’re baking for a special occasion or simply craving something sweet, these cookies are sure to impress!
