1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso coffee granules
1 tablespoon hot water
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso coffee granules
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee granules

Steps:

  • In large bowl, dissolve 1 1/2 tablespoons espresso in hot water. Beat in butter, shortening, 1 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon espresso, the cinnamon and salt on low speed.
  • Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 10-inch-long roll. Wrap each roll with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Cut each roll into 1/4-inch slices. On ungreased cookie sheet, place slices about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with remaining coating.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely.
