I love the Internet. This is a solid fact. I love the internet- I breathe and I earn off of it. People are endlessly creative and this fills me with this crazy adrenaline and makes me want to try so many things! The coffee bean cookie trend has recently hit the internet and boy, am I all about it. The one thing about these cookies are that they are eggless coffee bean cookies. These cookies have the simplest and most easily available ingredients! Honestly, how much cooler can any recipe get? I uploaded the above video on my Youtube channel yesterday and I already have endless recreations. Have I told you how much I love you guys?
Now, talking about these eggless coffee bean cookies, I love the flavour of coffee in them. On an honest note, I am not a die hard coffee lover. But, when and if you give me coffee in a dessert- no body can stop me from DEVOURING it. I have the same feelings about my uber delicious Eggless Coffee Cake. If you are someone with endless inhibitions about eggless recipes, trust me- they do not let you down as much as you think they do. Especially these Eggless coffee bean cookies which have only five ingredients and don’t use baking powder or baking soda!
Ingredients of these Eggless coffee bean cookies
Sure, the ingredients are super-duper basic but you need to take a little bit of caution with them- and you are good to go! Plus, since these Eggless coffee bean cookies use absolutely no leavening agent, you can use some tips!
The coffee
Of course in Eggless coffee bean cookies, the main ingredient is coffee! The coffee has to be submerged in water and allowed to sit for sometime so your recipe can have that rich and exotic coffee flavor! Don’t miss out on this step as it is super crucial for the final flavor.
The Water
Remember that the water that you are using is hot and not lukewarm. Using hot water allows the coffee flavor to really come out. This is ideal for your Eggless coffee bean cookies!
The Butter
Softened butter is important. Please do not use cold and hardened butter for any of your desserts unless specifically mentioned otherwise. If you are in a hurry and you wish to quickly whip up these gorgeous Eggless coffee bean cookies, just micro your butter for a couple of seconds. However, be cautious that you do not melt it.
The sugar
There is a lot of difference between powdered sugar and icing sugar. Icing sugar is recommended because it has a certain quantity of corn flour which acts as a binding and stabilising agent. You will end up getting the best results with icing sugar for these Eggless coffee bean cookies! Know more about different types of sugar.
The Maida
There is nothing complicated about maida here. Sieving is also an option!
The cocoa powder
It is best to use unsweetened and dark cocoa powder for these delicious coffee bean cookies!
The brands I prefer for these eggless coffee bean cookies
- Coffee- you can use Nescafe, Bru, and/or Davidoff
- The milk- using toned milk is the best option for these cookies.
- Butter- I always, undoubtedly prefer Amul butter
- Sugar- I have used Solar’s icing sugar. You can use Weikfield as well!
- Cocoa powder- Hershey’s is by far the best brand of cocoa powder.

Hi Shivesh! Just now, prepared these cookies. They are very soft & broke while picking. I didn’t get a proper dough. It wasn’t like a dough despite chilling for half an hour. So, couldn’t form the coffee bean shape. Was forced to form balls (with difficulty). Baked them for 10 minutes at 180°C. After cooling, these cookies were very soft & broke while picking. I followed the exact recipe. Could you please tell where I went wrong?
Hi Shivesh, looks great recipe, trying soon,look forward to more healthy recipe s from you, using different flours, jaggery and healthier oil. For guilt free eating. :))
I tried these and they turned out to be so amazing… thankyou for the recipe and here’s the link to the pictures how they looked : https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJV222HyZC/?igshid=1268oig55cuh1
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️?
Hey there! I was wondering if you could help me with measurement of cookie? Any idea how much should I cookie weigh? Or how many tablespoons for single cookie? That will be extremely helpful.
These are so beautiful. I am going to try them today!!! One question though, why there is no baking powder or soda in this?
Hi,thought I’d give this recipe a try, in the last step you have mentioned the cookies should rest on the baking tray for 10 mins .do you mean i leave them inside the oven or take them out and leave them for 10 mins?
You are one of my favourite.. and your recipes are just awesome
The recipe is good, except that I will reduce the water in the recipe to 1/2 or even less than that, I was unable to
Roll my dough even after refrigerating it for 30+ mins
So I readjusted both flour n sugar to get that thick batter like dough to form a cookie dough … but finally the cookies came out super cute
