Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and instant coffee granules. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the ¼ cup of granulated sugar until coated.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your fingers to ensure even baking.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon into the dough.
If you prefer a milder coffee flavor, you can use decaffeinated instant coffee granules.
These cookies store well at room temperature for up to a week or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
