These cinnamon coffee crinkle cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with warm cinnamon and rich coffee flavor. With a crackled, sugary top and easy, no-chill dough, they’re the perfect homemade treat for cookie lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, but recommended)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules or espresso powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup (80g) powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, instant coffee, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes with a mixer, 4-5 minutes by hand).
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  6. Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop dough in 1.5-tablespoon portions and roll each ball between your hands until smooth.
  7. Roll each dough ball generously in powdered sugar to coat.
  8. Arrange coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are cracked on top but still soft in the center.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If dough is too sticky to roll, refrigerate for 10 minutes. For best crinkle effect, coat dough balls generously in powdered sugar. Do not overbake; cookies should look soft in the center when removed from the oven. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter. Add mini chocolate chips or nuts for variation.
