Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Coffee Crinkles
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules into the vanilla extract and stir vigorously until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and coffee mixture, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Cover and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop portions of dough and shape them into balls, rolling in granulated and then powdered sugar.
  6. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until crinkled and set around the edges.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
