I am a big fan of coffee. And I am not talking about fancy fro fro coffee. I mean, coffee - coffee flavored - not sweet, not cold. Just coffee.
I am also a big fan of coffee in things. So these are the perfect cookie for me!
They have a very nice coffee flavor, but it isn’t overpowering.
The cinnamon and nutmeg are the right spices. They really enhance the coffee, and the coffee enhances them.
The cookies are soft and cake like. They do not harden, but stay soft.
These cookies would go great with a cup of coffee as a nice not too sweet treat!
