Espresso Shortbreads
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat the oven to 350 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the butter with the confectioners and granulated sugars until fluffy.
- Add the flour, espresso powder and salt and beat until just combined.
- Scrape the dough onto a work surface and pat into a disk.
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until just firm, about 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick.
- Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, stamp out cookies and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the cookies are just firm to the touch and golden at the edges; rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
