Coffee Bean Cookies

Prep: 20 minutes Chill: 1 hour Bake: 9 to 11 minutes

Ingredients:

2 tsp instant coffee crystals
2 tbs milk
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 3-oz pkg cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups a/p flour

1. Combine the coffee crystals and milk. Stir until the coffee crystals are dissolved; set aside.

2. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl beat butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, vanilla, and milk-coffee mixture. Beat until mixure is combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.

3. Cover and chill about 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.

4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Shape each ball into an oval. Press the thin edge of a wooden spoon (or a chopstick) lengthwise into the top of each oval so they resemble coffee beans. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

5. Bake in a 350F oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Makes about 48 cookies.
