Recipe FAQ

Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso powder?

Yes, but espresso powder is more concentrated. If using instant coffee, you may need to add an extra 1/2 tablespoon for the same punch.

Why must the butter be solidified before mixing?

If the butter is liquid, the cookies will spread too much and become oily. Solidified brown butter creates the perfect chewy texture.

How long do these cookies stay fresh?

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.
