Ingredients

    • Cookies:
    • 2 cups almond flour
    • 1/3 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (or regular flour)
    • 3 tbsp brewed espresso or strong coffee
    • 3/4 tsp instant espresso powder (optional)
    • 1/4 cup dairy-free or regular Greek-style yogurt
    • 3 tbsp maple syrup (or agave/coconut nectar)
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

 

    • Frosting:
    • 1/2 cup dairy-free or regular Greek-style yogurt
    • 2 tsp brewed espresso or strong coffee
    • 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder
    • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 tsp maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)

 

  • Topping:
  • 2–3 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. Brew espresso or strong coffee. Stir in espresso powder if using. Let cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and gluten-free flour. Add espresso, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Adjust with extra yogurt or almond flour as needed.
  4. Lightly oil your hands. Form dough into 13 balls (~1 1/2 tbsp each). Flatten slightly and place on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 16–18 minutes until edges are just golden. Cool on pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile, make the frosting: whisk yogurt, espresso, espresso powder, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth. Chill if needed.
  7. Once cookies are cool, spread about 1 tsp of frosting on each and dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

Notes

  • Wait until cookies are fully cooled before frosting.
  • Store unfrosted cookies at room temperature for best texture.
  • To intensify coffee flavor, add more instant espresso to the dough or frosting.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt for a completely dairy-free version.
