CHEWY COFFEE COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Coarsely grind the coffee beans in a coffee grinder. Combine 1 tablespoon ground coffee in a small bowl with the turbinado sugar; set aside. Transfer the remaining coffee to a medium bowl and whisk in the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
• Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until combined.
• Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, then roll each ball in the coffee-sugar mixture. Arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared pans.
• Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are just set around the edges but the centers are still soft, about 18 minutes. Let cool 3 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and 2 teaspoons milk in a small bowl until smooth. Gradually stir in up to 2 more teaspoons milk until the glaze is thick but pourable. Spoon the glaze over the cookies. Let set, about 10 minutes.

COFFEE COOKIE BUTTER CONES

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a double boiler. Meanwhile, remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a bowl to cool to room temperature (it will not firm up until it's on the ice cream).
• Set each cone upright in a mason jar filled with sprinkles or sugar (this will help the cone stand up). Drizzle a teaspoon of chocolate in each cone. Using a small offset spatula or spoon, spread some cookie butter on the insides of the cones. Using a small offset spatula or spoon, fill the cones with ice cream to the top of the cone. Add a teaspoon of cookie butter. Add a scoop of ice cream on top and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
• Place the cookies and sprinkles each in a shallow bowl. Dip the ice cream into the chocolate mixture, using a spoon to coat if needed. Immediately roll the cones in the sprinkles or cookies to coat. Place back in the jars and return to the freezer to set, 15 minutes. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap to store.

COFFEE MALTEDS

Steps:

• Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat it to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Whisk the flour, malt powder, and baking powder together.
• Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter, both sugars, espresso, and salt together on medium speed until well blended, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, return to medium speed and, one by one, beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla, beating for 1 minute after each goes in. Turn off the mixer, add the dry ingredients all at once and pulse, just to begin incorporating the flour and malt powder. When the risk of flying flour is passed, mix on low speed only until the dry ingredients disappear into the dough. You'll have a rather crumbly dough, but that's fine. Give the dough a few last turns with a sturdy flexible spatula and then reach in, knead if necessary and gather the dough into a ball.
• Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out level portions of dough, or use a teaspoon to get rounded spoonfuls. Roll the dough into balls and place them an inch apart on the lined baking sheets.
• Bake the cookies for 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back after 8 minutes. The cookies will be soft and golden only around the edges; they won't look done, and they're not-they'll firm as they cool. Transfer the sheets to racks and then, after about 10 minutes, carefully lift the cookies onto the racks to cool completely.
• Do Ahead
• Packed in a tightly covered container, the cookies will keep for up to 3 days (after that, they get firmer and are perfect for dunking...in coffee, of course). Wrapped airtight, they can be frozen for up to 2 months.

IRISH COFFEE COOKIES

Cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
