Coffee shortbread

Ingredients

Demerara sugar, to sprinkle

Procedure

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Mill sugar to icing sugar on speed 9 for 30 seconds.

Add butter, and  icing sugar and mix on speed 3 for 1-2 minutes until pale and creamy (almost white).

Dissolve 3 tsp instant coffee in 3 tsp water. Beat into butter mix on speed 3 for 10 seconds.

Add plain flour and mix on speed 4 for 30 seconds to 1 minute. (the mixture will appear crumbly at first, but keep stirring).

VHJ - I love shortbread and am slightly addicted to coffee so whipped these up today and they are really lovely. Thanks faffa_70 - great combination of two of my favourites.

cookie - I made these the other day and used one third coffee and two thirds milo. They were lovely and had a mild coffee flavour.

These would be nice to have with coffee. So many biscuit recipes I don't know where to start. :P
