  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Beat the shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, vanilla and milk until fluffy.

Step 3

Stir the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and instant coffee. Add to sugar mixture and mix thoroughly.
