Read more for all the details on Coffee Crunch Cookies.

Coffee is a flavour that I can’t live without. I’m been cutting down a little because the addiction was way too strong but I have to admit, I love coffee as a flavour.

Coffee ice cream, cakes, biscuits, buns, cookies, etc.! Lots of people have coffee for the caffeine aspect but for me, it’s purely the flavour. I have been drinking decaf coffee too and I’ve been loving it.

I did some recipe experimenting with these Coffee Crunch Cookies did not disappoint. It is definitely a heavier cookie than usual but it’s perfect to have for tea time. The flavour of coffee in this one is quite mild too so it’s nice even for people who don’t love coffee!

I love adding nuts to a lot of my food because I am a big texture person! I can’t do something that’s too soft or mushy. I would’ve done just walnuts to this one but I had extra pecans and almonds so I did a mixture of all 3 kinds.

This recipe is actually inspired by my Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe because I was eating these the other day and thought wow it would be so great to have a hint of coffee in these!

A little recipe testing and the Coffee Crunch Cookies were created. I was a little afraid that they weren’t going to turn out that great but was pleased with the results! I shared these with some friends and family who lived in the area and they enjoyed it too.

My dad loves coffee and would sometimes just eat chocolate-covered coffee beans as a treat! I would sneak some too so I guess this coffee addiction came from my Dad! I’m not complaining because it has been so nice to enjoy cups of coffee together!

Do you like coffee flavour? Would these Coffee Crunch Cookies be something you’d like to try?

HERE IS HOW TO MAKE Coffee Crunch Cookies:

WHERE CAN I FIND THESE INGREDIENTS?

Most ingredients you can find already in your home! Especially if you’re big into baking. Other than that, you can definitely just pick them up at any local grocery store. The best part of Coffee Crunch Cookies is that you could make your espresso just the way you like it!

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?

The base of this cookie is pretty much a standard cookie base of flour, sugar, and butter but these are the ingredients:

  • Brown Sugar
  • White Sugar
  • Melted Butter
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Flour
  • Espresso
  • Nuts
  • Chocolate

CAN I SUB ANYTHING OUT?

I’d keep it as is but you’re welcome to change the nuts that you put in! I just did a mix of almonds, pecans and walnuts but peanuts, macadamia or pistachios would be delicious too! The espresso chocolate is just drizzled on top so you can omit that or use any chocolate of your choice. Dark or white chocolate would do this justice too! You can also just add the chocolate chips in the Coffee Crunch Cookies dough if you’d like!

WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?

This cookie is quite heavy so when you pick one up, you can feel it. This recipe almost gives it a crumbly, cakey vibe. I really enjoyed this cookie as the coffee taste wasn’t too overpowering and I would definitely serve this to people who don’t like coffee. When you first take a bite, you kind of inhale the coffee taste but as you continue to chew, it is not prominent. I really love the espresso chocolate drizzle on top and I think it sets the whole cookie together as this cookie isn’t too sweet.

HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?

I would say that keep very well! I baked them and gave some away then I stored it in an airtight container for about a week and a half and they were still in very good condition! I’d say for the best taste and texture, store them up to a week in a cool, dry place and up to 2 weeks in the fridge. You can also roll them out and store them in the freezer and just bake them when you feel like having a hot and fresh one!

Make sure they don’t sit out too long as you want to keep the Coffee Crunch Cookies moist and not dry.

ANY OTHER NOTES?

  • Top it with whatever you’d like! I chose this espresso/chocolate drizzle as I didn’t want the chocolate chips inside
  • You can also top it off with some flaky salt if you like salt on your cookies! I like doing this when they are hot out of the oven. Broma Bakery does this in their Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies! Look amazing.
  • These really aren’t that sweet so it’s perfect on the side of a coffee or tea
  • The crunch is a surprise but it’s a nice one! I love different textures in my food so I really enjoyed this one
  • I rolled them super huge so you’ll probably be able to make a lot more than 12

Coffee Crunch Cookies

These Coffee Crunch Cookies are the best cookies to have with your tea of coffee! They are a thick, crumbly and delicious infused coffee dessert.

I have been testing out baking recipes A LOT because one of my goals this year is to be a better baker. I struggle with baking a lot so I am determined to get better! This Coffee Bean Cookies recipe from The Grumpy Olive is next on my list of cookies to make!

Stay tuned for more baked goods! I’m hunting down lots of inspiration on Pinterest. Cookies are something I’m a little more comfortable with. Cakes and muffins are definitely something I want to work on because the ones I make right now are a little questionable I have to admit.

My favourite cookie so far is a pistachio cookie. I LOVE pistachio so much! I’ll have to share a recipe for it in the future too.

What is your favourite cookie flavour? I’d love to know in the comments below!

Xo,

Lynn

  8. The cookies look and sound amazing! I am not really a nut person so I might leave those out. Now I want cookies lol.

  9. I love coffee! It’s my drink of choice and flavor wise, it’s my numero uno! These cookies sound delicious and right up my alley. I can’t wait to try them!

  11. These cooking looks super delicious for tea snacks. Thank you for sharing your recipe with me.

  13. I’m one of those people that tends to drink coffee to stay awake! Saying that, I do really like coffee cake & mochas. These cookies sound delicious so will definitely be trying them out x

  16. I loveeee how these look and sound! Bet they are so tasty! I love the flavour of coffee!

    Corinne x

  18. Wow! Cookies! Perfect snack with a cup of coffee haha – pin this for later x

  19. Oh my! These sound like they’re to die for! Coffee and chocolate are two of my daily habits, haha. I will definitely be giving these a try. Thanks, Lynn!

  20. I love anything with coffee flavor and nuts. Your recipe is delicious, and you make baking fun.

    Thanks for sharing. xx

  21. A coffee flavoured crumbly, cakey cookie – yes, that’s me. Topped off with macadamia or pistachios… Ohh yes.

  23. My goodness, these look delicious! (Also – as a fellow coffee addict, switching to high quality decaf has been life changing! You still get the great taste without all the excess caffeine) xx

  24. I love coffee and chocolate. I’ll have to make these.

  25. I’d never really pick anything like this to snack on. I love coffee, but for some reason, coffee flavoured sweet treats are never on my list. These look blooming delish though! I love the chocolate drizzle and nuts!

  26. I’m not and never will be a coffee person. Cannot do anything to do with the word at all. That being said your post requires full justice! I’ll recommend this to my coffee lover sis.
    You spoke my heart there Lynn! 5 mins prep time? I’m the Express way person only and only. Two more… I love texture, nothing soft and squishy. Nut mix would definitely taste better than one I can say because I enjoy it this way too. And I like heavy cookies more than others. So what u can do is I can try the same minus one ingredient. Thanks for sharing ?

  29. Were these cookies made for me, or what?! Seriously, they sound phenomenal! I can’t wait to make them for myself soon. Anything with coffee is definitely my jam 😉

  30. Your recipes are making me drool too much of late, Lynn! These coffee crunch cookies are the perfect treat; I admit I am not a big fan of coffee itself but I love the flavor and in a crunchy bite? Perfection.
    Thanks for sharing!

  34. Made these and they were absolutely scrumptious! Very soft and cakey, and the nuts were great. I had to substitute espresso with just instant coffee, but next time I won’t so I have a stronger coffee flavor. Would definitely recommend! ?
