Wave3 Artisanal Coffee Sugar Cookie Recipe

I stumbled upon these delicious looking coffee sugar cookies from I Am Baker on Pinterest, and knew I had to try them! I almost felt guilty using up some of my new favorite coffee from Wave3, but as I only had to “sacrifice” 2 tablespoons, and the cookies were super yummy, I figured it was well worth it.

coffee sugar cookies
Ingredients

• 1 cup butter softened 
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp. fresh ground coffee (I used Wave3’s Organic Artisanal Smooth Dark Roast)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (I used kosher)

Instructions

1. In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar.
2. In a small bowl, combine eggs, vanilla, and coffee until fully incorporated.
3. In separate bowl add together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Slowly add your egg mixture to the butter mixture until well combined. Slowly add flour mixture until fully combined, do not over beat.
5. Chill this dough for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
6. When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
7. Roll out dough on floured solid surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a circle cookie cutter, punch out circles and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely before covering in any icing.

SUPERFOOD COFFEE: Wave 3 coffee is a genuine superfood (see health benefits in description below). Perhaps we’re not famous (yet) like Starbucks, Keurig, Green Mountain Coffee, Coffee Bean Direct, San Francisco Bay, Lavazza, Death Wish, Stumptown, Gevalia, Community, Dunkin Donuts, Bulletproof Butter Coffee, Kicking Horse or other coffee shops, but as our growing coffee fans say: “Take One Sip, Count to 3, Ride the Wave!”
