Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

COOKIE BASE
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
2 Tbsp strong coffee, freshly brewed but cooled
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
GLAZE
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 Tbsp strong brewed coffee, cooled (or milk)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour bottom and sides of 9x13-inch baking pan. Shake out excess flour; set baking pan aside.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
  • 3. Beat together the butter and both sugars at medium speed for about 2 minutes or until fluffy and smooth. Beat in the cooled coffee and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, and beat until well blended. It should be thick, like cookie dough.
  • 4. Spread cookie dough in an even layer in the prepared baking pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned on the surface. Remove from oven and let cool completely or at least 20 minutes.
  • 5. FOR THE GLAZE: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon cold coffee until icing is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. If glaze is too thick, add more cold coffee, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue stirring until you reach the right consistency. In a random pattern, drizzle glaze from a teaspoon over the surface of the cooled cookie base. Set the pan aside for about 10 to 15 minutes to let the glaze harden a bit. To get 24 bars, cut 6 vertical rows and 4 horizontal rows.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the taste of your cappuccino. Choose fresh, locally-sourced milk and espresso beans.
  • Master the Art of Steaming Milk: Steamed milk is a key component of a cappuccino. Practice steaming milk until you achieve a velvety, microfoam texture.
  • Espresso is the Base: Use a good quality espresso as the base for your cappuccino. A rich, flavorful espresso will create a balanced and harmonious drink.
  • Layer Your Ingredients Correctly: The classic cappuccino has three layers: espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. Pour the espresso first, then the steamed milk, and top it off with a dollop of milk foam.
  • Garnish with Love: A sprinkle of cocoa powder, cinnamon, or nutmeg adds a touch of elegance and flavor to your cappuccino.

Conclusion:

With practice and attention to detail, you can create café-quality cappuccinos at home. Experiment with different coffee beans, milk varieties, and flavorings to find your perfect cappuccino recipe. Remember, the key is to use fresh ingredients, master the art of steaming milk, and layer your ingredients correctly. Whether you enjoy it as a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon treat, a homemade cappuccino is a delicious and comforting beverage that will elevate your coffee experience.
