Ingredients
100g almond flour
100g powdered sugar
2 tsp instant coffee powder
1 small egg
Extra powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and instant coffee powder.
Incorporate the egg into the dry mixture until a homogeneous paste is formed.
Refrigerate the dough for about one hour to make it easier to shape.
Preheat your oven to 180°C.
Shape the dough into small balls with your hands.
Roll each ball in a bowl filled with extra powdered sugar until fully coated.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, removing them when they are cracked but still soft to the touch.
Notes
Do not overwork the dough to ensure the cookies remain tender.
The chilling time is essential for easy handling of the dough.
Watch the oven closely; overcooking will result in dry cookies rather than a soft center.
