These sound so good. I love coffee anything.
Could you tell us if your recipe used unsweetened coco or like hot choclate coco? Thank you
Thank you!
No, real cocoa powder is unsweetened.
This is awesome!!! I am a coffee lover!! Thanks chef 🥰😍
Thank you 🙂
Is it possible to substitute the corn starch with cake flour?
I baked them today, they turned out so delicious, thank you so much.
Is corn flour added in addition to the cake flour? Or is it added to regular AP flour to make cake flour?
Beautiful, very tasty little cookies. Thanks for the recipe. I used weights and a 30 g espresso shot in making them. Made 45 cookies @ 9 g of dough per.
The flavour is delicious!
Made these todays and they’re great!
I made these yesterday and they’re great!
Can i used brown or white sugar instead of powdered sugar? If yes, whats the measurement?
i’ve made these a couple times and have frozen several batches. i’ve noticed when i refrigerate them overnight to bake the next day, they are somewhat spotty after baking. what causes this?
i am having issues with the cookies flaking after baking. is anyone else having this problem? i have tried different things – bringing the preformed cookies to room temperature after refrigerating from being frozen, baking straight from being frozen, and baking after thawing in the refrigerator.
the spottiness is a result of the dough not being properly mixed. i use a hand mixer now to mix the dough well. this has resolved the issue.
No, cornstarch and corn flour are not the same thing.
I made these yesterday and followed the ingredients for one quantity. I found the appearance and texture to be very pleasant. However, I was expecting more of a coffee flavour. I used instant coffee (the quantity suggested) but could hardly taste any. I could mainly taste chocolate from the cocoa added. Should I have added more coffee or used something like a coffee liqueur?
Many thanks!
