PRESENTATION
If you’re looking to bring a touch of Italian pastry magic into your home, this coffee biscotti recipe is just what you need. And here’s the thing, in Italy, coffee isn't just for sipping—it's a beloved ingredient in everything from cakes and doughnuts to semifreddos and ice cream. Really. These homemade biscotti let that rich coffee aroma shine through. By incorporating coffee directly into the dough and blending it with a creamy chocolate ganache filling, you get a double dose of flavor that’s both cozy and indulgent. Seriously good. These cookies are soft, almost like a shortbread, with a moist center that melts in your mouth. Which is great, offering a twist if you’re used to traditional Italian biscotti being crunchy. Some folks in northern Italy like to sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a refined finish—stripes, swirls, or just a generous dusting all over.
These Italian coffee biscuits are perfect for any occasion. Pretty much. Some enjoy them at tea time, others save them as a treat with an aromatic liqueur after dinner, and many can’t resist having one with their morning coffee for a sweet start. The easy biscotti recipe is wonderfully versatile. Seriously. Try changing up the filling, using different chocolate, or adding a hint of orange zest to play with flavors. The tender texture, combined with that deep coffee aroma, makes each bite feel special yet comforting. Compared to almond biscotti or chocolate biscotti, this version offers a bold, grown-up flavor that stands out without being overly sweet. For real. Whether you choose to dust them with extra sugar or leave them plain, these coffee-flavored cookies bring a taste of Italian baking tradition straight to your kitchen. They’re sure to make any snack or dessert moment feel really special, offering a genuine taste of Italy that’s hard to resist. So, why not try making these great treats and add a little Italian flair to your day? Really, you won't regret it.

Preparation
How to prepare Coffee Cookies
To make the coffee cookies, put the soft butter, cut into cubes, and the powdered sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment 1. Turn the machine on and work the mixture until smooth. At this point add the eggs, lightly beaten 2, and let them incorporate while continuing to mix. When the mixture is combined, add the flour 3.
Also add the ground coffee 4 (the kind used for a moka pot) and work for a few more moments, just enough time to get a uniform dough 5. Transfer the mixture to the work surface and quickly bring it together with your hands 6 to form a smooth disk.
Wrap the disk in plastic wrap 7 and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. After resting, lightly flour the work surface 8 and roll out the pastry with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 3/16 in (5 mm) 8.
Once rolled out 10, take your cookie cutters, about 22 2 3/8 inches in diameter (56 cm), cut out the shapes 11 and rework the trimmings 12.
Place the cookies as you go on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 13. Continue cutting cookies with other similarly sized cutters until youve used up the dough 1415.
Once all the cookies are on the baking sheet 16, bake them in a preheated conventional oven at 356 356°F) for 30 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly 17 before enjoying 18.
