We love coffee at our house. And I love baking. So I decided to combine two loves into one delicious cookie. These are super easy and they got a big thumbs up from my family and coworkers.

Place batter on a long log on a floured sheet of plastic wrap. Using a spatula create an even shaped log and wrap in plastic. Roll a few times on the counter to make it nice, even and round. Freeze for 30 minutes until very firm.

Preheat oven to 350˚. Pull out your firm dough log, and using a serrated knife, cut ½” thick circles and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1 ½” apart.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are slightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely before drizzling with the coffee drizzle. Let the drizzle set, then store cookies between parchment paper in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days (or freeze).
