I ate four of these shortly after they came out of the oven - they were great!<br/>I used 2 whole eggs as opposed to 3 egg yolks, and they were soft and chewy and flavourful. Definitely a "make again" recipe. -
Coffee to sugar ratio was too strong, cookies burned easily. -
These cookies were very quick and easy to make. The batter produced a nice thick crisp coffee flavored cookies. I did add additional sugar, personal preference only, maybe my instant coffee was too strong. Next time I make these I will add chocolate chips or almonds. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Made for Fall Pac Orphanage 2011. -
I usually shy away from any recipe that includes coffee, or that I don't feel comfortable omitting that ingredient! This one I made for my other half to take to work & share with co-workers! I didn't get the 'oohs & ahhs' feedback from them, but neither were there any left, so . . . I guess they were good enough to eat! AND, I was asked to make them again sometime!
