Time 40m

Yield 9-12 shortbread cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup butter, room temperature (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons espresso powder
1/4 cup espresso beans, coarsely ground

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • First, cream the butter and sugar together until it's light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix for about 30 seconds. Then add the flour and espresso powder and mix until dough is smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Spray a 9"x9" pan with cooking spray and scatter the ground espresso across the bottom of the pan. Gently press dough evenly into the espresso covered pan. Place pan into the top part of the oven and bake until shortbread is set, about 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool about 15 minutes.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the top of the still warm short bread. Cut in 2" squares(or how you like). Run a butter knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a cutting board. Give a sharp rap and the shortbread will release from the pan. Let it cool aobut 10 more minutes and slice along the scored lines. Enjoy!

These cookies were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably cut the sugar down a bit next time.

I'm not a huge fan of espresso, but these cookies were still really good. The shortbread was so buttery and crumbly, and the espresso flavor was not overpowering.
