Past few days I baked loads of cookies and cakes. Brazilian Coffee Cookies being one them. All you coffee lovers will swear by them. I followed Rosa’s recipe and they came out perfect. 1 Sieve together flour, baking pwd, baking soda and salt. Keep aside. 2 Add hot water to the coffee pwd and keep aside. 3 In a bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the milk, vanilla essence and egg until light and creamy. Add the coffee mixture and mix. 4 Mix in the sieved ingredients until just blended. Cover with plastic foil and place in refrigerator for 10-15 mts. 5 Prepare small lemon sized balls and place on baking sheet that has been lined with butter paper. Place each ball about 2 inches apart as they spread. Lightly flatten the balls with a fork. Sprinkle some sugar on top of each ball. 6 Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200 C for about 10-12 mts till the edges are slightly toasted or till done. Once baked, the cookie will feel soft on touch but once cool it will harden. 7 Cool on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Store in airtight container.
