likebyregina You don’t need milk or baking soda for this Coffee Bean Cookies recipe. It tastes as delicious as it looks. It has a subtle sweetness, which pairs well with a cup of hot coffee. More importantly, these cookies are bite-sized, and they are perfect for afternoon tea snacks.
I lower the amount of icing sugar I used in the recipe, which makes the cookies less sweet and has a stronger coffee flavor. If you prefer enjoying it with black coffee, you can use the original amount – 70g of icing sugar.

Is it possible to just replace the all purpose flour and cornstarch with cake flour?

Hi Chloe, unfortunately I have never tried before as the texture might change with the addition of corn starch. Cuz usually ppl add corn starch to make the cookies softer and moister, but this coffee bean cookies are crispy outside, soft inside. I recommend to try doing half a batch using first 1:1 substitution on cake flour and see how it goes ?? sorry didn’t help much, but let me know if you have more questions.
Okay, thanks for your reply anyway! ?
SO cute! I love it and I did it last Sunday. It already makes my days

[…] Keep an airtight jar of these on your desk. Slightly sweet and gently caffeinated, they’re the ideal treat for that 3 o’clock slump. Get the recipe from Vancouver Pigout. […]
