Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Coffee Butter Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Dissolve coffee granules in hot water, then add to the butter mixture, stirring until well-blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts, if desired.
  7. Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
