Ingredients
For the cookies:
4 ½ cups (576 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (224 g) vegetable oil
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup freshly ground coffee beans (finely ground, espresso consistency)
For the glaze:
1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons freshly brewed coffee
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
In a stand mixer, cream together butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract and finely ground coffee beans until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients in three additions, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Scoop dough using a 2-tablespoon scoop and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
Allow cookies to cool slightly.
Prepare glaze by whisking together confectioners’ sugar and brewed coffee until smooth.
Drizzle glaze over cookies and let set before serving.
Notes
Finely ground coffee is key for smooth texture and strong flavor.
Do not overbake to keep cookies soft.
Adjust glaze consistency by adding more sugar or coffee.
Cookies can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
