Coffee Cookies Brazilian Style
Servings- 24
I will give you a few tips on using coffee when you are baking.
• When using coffee in desserts the coffee flavor will be distinctive. However if you add coffee to your meat dish it will overpower the meat and give it too much of a coffee flavor.
• You can freeze your leftover coffee in ice trays. It will work like bullion cubes to be used in iced coffee, stews, and sauces.
• The finer the grind the more potent the flavor.
• Don't like your coffee too acidic? Give the grounds a pinch of salt and it will combat acidic coffee.
• Spice up coffee with cinnamon, allspice, or nutmeg. Just add a pinch to the ground coffee.
