Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl sift together the flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the instant coffee powder and whisk to combine.
- In a large bowl add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. With a hand mixer, beat until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and yolk, then add the vanilla. Beat until combined.
- Add the flour mixture 1/3 at a time until all of the flour is fully incorporated.
- Fold in the espresso morsels if you’re using them. Stick extra on top if you’d like.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to drop dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Prepare the thin glaze in a small bowl. Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies. Allow the icing to set before serving.
