I don't like sweet cookies in the morning. These however, are a satisfying shortbread style cookies.
Preheat oven to 325
Mix these item together with a fork in the bottom of a glass 8 x 8" pan.
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add
With a sandwich baggie over the hand, press the dough evenly. Using a sharp knife, score through the dough into squares.
Bake just until the dough is set and beginning to color, about 25-30 minutes.
Let cool a few moments, then retrace the scored lines with the tip of the knife while still warm. Cool. With a fork gently slide the flat side under and remove each one carefully.
