1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Dissolve the instant coffee in warm water in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cream the brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter using an electric mixer for 1–2 minutes on medium speed.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until the mixture is fully combined.
- Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt directly into the wet ingredients.
- Fold everything together gently with a rubber spatula until a dough forms.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and set.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Always dissolve the instant coffee before adding to the batter.
For best texture, use a room temperature egg.
