Baking Instructions

• Preheat oven to 340℉/170℃ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, stir instant coffee with hot water until dissolved.
• In a medium bowl, combine cake flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Whisk in the egg yolk and coffee mixture until well combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until well incorporated. The dough will look crumbly at first, but it will eventually come together after some mixing.
• Scoop out about 8 gr or a teaspoon of dough. Roll the dough into balls, then gently shape them into an oval. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Press the middle of each ball with a knife.
