Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons of instant coffee granules in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup of melted unsalted butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out chilled dough and roll it into 1-inch balls.
  7. Coat each ball in granulated sugar, followed by a generous dusting of powdered sugar.
  8. Place the prepared dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, giving them enough space to spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
