Ingredients

  • 4 ½ cups (576 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (224 g) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup freshly ground coffee beans, finely ground (such as you would for espresso)

Coffee Glaze (Optional)

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly brewed coffee

Instructions

Cookie

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, oil, granulated sugar, and confectioners sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Reduce speed to medium and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.
  • Add the vanilla and coffee grounds and continue mixing until combined.
  • Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop cookies and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. (They will not spread much)
  • Bake 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookie start to turn golden brown.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl combine confectioners' sugar and coffee. Whisk together until smooth.
  • Drizzle the cookies with the coffee glaze.
  • Cookies can be served warm or cold.
