Coffee Cookie
CALORIES
GI

1 piece (medium) of Coffee Cookie (22 g) has 106 calories. That works out to 480 calories per 100 g. It contains 14.5 g of carbs, 1.1 g of protein, 4.8 g of fat and 0.5 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 65 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A coffee cookie is a small baked biscuit flavoured with coffee, usually mixed into a sweet dough; home recipes may also include butter and egg. There is no single fixed recipe, so the coffee can give the cookie a gentle aroma or a more pronounced roasted taste.
The texture is often crisp at the edges and crumbly or tender inside. In Turkey, where this style of cookie is commonly enjoyed, it may be served with tea or alongside Turkish coffee; it also pairs easily with coffee or tea elsewhere. With 480 calories per 100 g, it is an energy-dense sweet rather than a filling snack. Serve one small piece with an unsweetened drink for a lighter break.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Coffee cookies are made by mixing coffee into a butter-and-sugar cookie dough, then baking shaped portions until the edges are set. Use instant coffee or espresso powder for a concentrated flavor, and let the cookies cool before judging their texture.
Yes, but use brewed coffee sparingly because extra liquid can make coffee cookie dough sticky and cause the cookies to spread. Cool the coffee first, and reduce another liquid in the recipe if there is one.
Yes, coffee cookies made with caffeinated coffee contain some caffeine. The amount varies with the coffee and recipe, while decaffeinated coffee lowers it. Coffee cookies with chocolate may also get a small amount of caffeine from the chocolate.
Coffee cookies can taste bitter if the dough contains too much strong coffee, the coffee itself is very dark-roasted, or the cookies are overbaked. Use a measured amount of coffee and take them out when the edges are set rather than deeply browned.
Coffee cookies often turn dry and crumbly when too much flour is packed into the measuring cup or the cookies bake too long. Measure flour lightly, mix just until the dough comes together, and remove the cookies while their centers still feel slightly soft.
Yes, coffee cookies can be made without eggs, but the substitute affects how well they hold together and how crisp or tender they become. Use an egg replacement intended for baking, and expect the finished cookie to have a somewhat different texture.
To keep coffee cookies soft, avoid overbaking them and store them in an airtight container after they have cooled. If the recipe makes crisp cookies, changing the recipe’s sugar or fat balance may be needed; storage alone will not make them chewy.
Yes, coffee cookie dough can be frozen. Shape it into portions first and freeze them in a sealed container; bake from chilled or thawed dough according to the recipe, checking doneness because cold dough may need a little longer.
Coffee cookies pair well with a glass of milk, tea, or a less-sweet coffee drink. Their roasted flavor also works with vanilla ice cream or a simple fruit dessert, while a very sweet drink can make the pairing taste overly sugary.
Coffee cookies can be finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar, a thin chocolate drizzle, or a simple coffee-flavored glaze. Let the cookies cool completely before decorating so the topping sets instead of melting into the surface.
