Notes
This coffee cookie recipe will make approximately 18 triple coffee cookies.
You can substitute vanilla for the coffee liqueur, but please don't substitute regular coffee for the instant espresso powder or regular beans for the chocolate-covered espresso beans.
To crush your coffee beans, put them in a clean plastic bag and pound the bag with a kitchen mallet or meat tenderizer. Crush them finely for a subtle crunch, or leave larger pieces for a more intense coffee experience.
You can chill or freeze your cookie balls before baking, but it's not necessary unless your kitchen is very warm. Bake the coffee cookies from frozen at the same temperature for a minute or two more.
