Yet another simple and delicious recipe from my mum. This is a 'freezer box' cookie where you can make the dough in advance and freeze until required. If you are a coffee lover then this is definitely a cookie for you to try. Its really light and crumbly with the wonderful aroma and taste of coffee. The added crunch of the almond flakes gives it a nice texture.
cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy 
adding coffee
70g almond flakes
250g butter
90g icing sugar
2 tablespoons instant coffee and 2 tablespoons water
- Preheat oven to 180C.

I need these biscuits for my tea break now. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI just bookmarked this recipe. I love coffee, and I think I will have to make this!
ReplyDeleteI think instead of using coffee though I will use some of my homemade coffee liqueur. Sounds wonderful!
If I make the cookies is it okay if I post the recipe on my website? I would list you as the recipe source and link to your website if I have your permission.
Anyway, what I love about this recipe is that it can be frozen and taken out and baked any time. That's perfect for me because we just can't eat that many cookies at once.
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe, sheila
