Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°. With a mixer, cream together butter, sugars, ground espresso, instant espresso and salt until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in vanilla. Slowly add flour. Mix until no flour pockets remain.

Shape dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

Place dough between two pieces of parchment or waxed paper. Roll out into an even thickness of a quarter inch. Cut out cookies with a 2-inch decorative cookie cutter. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet, and chill again until firm.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until edges
are set and just turning golden. Transfer to a rack to cool.
