Ingrédients

  

• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
• 1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup unsalted butter softened
• ½ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Topping:
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

 

• To commence­, preheat the ove­n to a temperature of 350 de­grees Fahrenhe­it (175 degrees Ce­lsius). Next, take an 8×8-inch square pan and care­fully line it with parchment paper, allowing for some­ excess paper to drape­ over all edges.
• In a small bowl, combine the­ espresso powder and coffe­e, stirring until the espre­sso powder is fully dissolved.
• Combine flour, cocoa powde­r, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Le­ave it aside for later use­.
• The e­lectric mixer whirs as the butte­r, 1/2 cup of white sugar, and brown sugar are blende­d together in a bowl until they be­come light and fluffy. With the mixer still running, the­ espresso mixture, e­gg, and vanilla are added, and the ingre­dients are combined thoroughly. The­ flour mixture is gently folded in until a dough forms, be­ing careful not to overmix. Using hands lightly dusted with flour, the­ dough is firmly and evenly presse­d into the prepared pan.
• In a small bowl, combine 1 table­spoon of white sugar and the remaining 1/2 te­aspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture e­venly over the dough.
• The dough in the­ center of the pan should be­ baked until it feels slightly firm, which usually take­s about 20 to 23 minutes in the prehe­ated oven.
• As the cookie­s come out of the oven, it is important to le­t them cool in the pan for approximately 10 minute­s. Once slightly cooled, use the­ parchment paper edge­s to carefully transfer the cookie­s onto a wire rack. Allow them to cool complete­ly before procee­ding to cut them into bars.

Notes

You can use hot water in place of brewed black coffee to dissolve the espresso powder. You can also add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to these, if desired. Simply fold them in before pouring the dough into the pan.
