The 'Coffee Beans' cookies are a delicate, aromatic treat inspired by a love for coffee. Its origins trace back to Russian cuisine, where simple ingredients transform into exquisite desserts. The cookie's flavor is rich, with a slight bitterness from coffee and cocoa, complemented by the sweetness of sugar and the creamy tenderness of butter. During preparation, the dough becomes pliable, allowing for the creation of small cookies resembling coffee beans. These miniature masterpieces pair perfectly with a morning cup of coffee or evening tea, enhancing their flavors and creating a cozy atmosphere. With their softness and delicate taste, they can be an excellent addition to a dessert table or simply a delightful treat for coffee lovers.
