This article explores the close relationship between coffee and life, and introduces the method of making simple coffee biscuits. Coffee is not only a drink, but also represents a life attitude and cultural pursuit. By making homemade coffee biscuits, people can easily enjoy delicious coffee and crispy biscuits at home, and feel the pleasure and warmth brought by coffee. This simple and wonderful experience allows people to find a moment of tranquility and relaxation in their busy lives.

In busy life, coffee seems to have become an indispensable drink. It brings not only warmth and refreshing effects, but also a sense of ritual in life. Whenever the aroma of coffee fills the surroundings, it seems that the whole world has become quiet. What we are trying to make is not only delicious coffee, but also something closely related to coffee - coffee biscuits.

1. Coffee selection

To make delicious coffee cookies, you must first choose coffee beans that suit your taste. Coffee beans from different origins have their own unique flavors, such as the sweetness of Brazil, the moderate acidity of Colombia, the richness of Mandheling, etc. When choosing coffee beans, you should not only consider their origin and variety, but also select them according to your own taste preferences.

2. Grinding and Brewing

Coffee beans need to be ground to release their unique aroma. Use a manual or automatic grinder to grind the coffee beans into a moderate particle size. Too coarse or too fine will affect the taste and aroma of the coffee. Now comes the brewing stage. The water temperature and time of brewing coffee will affect the taste of the coffee. Use 90℃-94℃ hot water and brew for 2-4 minutes to get a cup of fragrant coffee.

3. Making coffee biscuits

The materials needed to make coffee biscuits are not complicated. They are mainly flour, butter, sugar, eggs and freshly brewed coffee. Mix the softened butter and sugar until slightly white, add the eggs and continue to stir until fully blended. Mix the brewed coffee with the flour and stir into a dough. During this process, pay attention to the softness and hardness of the dough. If it is too hard, the biscuits will be too crispy, and if it is too soft, the biscuits will easily deform.

Divide the dough into small pieces, press them into the desired shape with a mold or directly pinch them into shape with your hands, and bake them in a preheated oven. While waiting for the cookies to bake, you can smell the aroma of coffee and butter, which is irresistible.

4. Decoration and taste

The surface of freshly baked coffee cookies is golden and attractive. After cooling slightly, you can sprinkle some coffee powder or chocolate powder on the surface of the cookies for decoration. Different decoration methods will make the coffee cookies present different styles and tastes. In addition to powdered decoration, you can also try adding some chopped nuts, dried fruits or chocolate beans to add layers of taste.

While enjoying coffee and biscuits, we might as well think about why coffee and biscuits go so well together? Is it because of the warmth and comfort they share, or because of the perfect taste they achieve during the production process? Perhaps, this is not just an enjoyment of the taste buds, but also a love and pursuit of life.

In our busy lives, we might as well give ourselves more time like this, enjoy a cup of self-brewed coffee with a homemade coffee biscuit, feel the tranquility and comfort, slow down the pace of life, and savor every detail of life.

In this busy world, let us find our own simplicity and beauty through homemade coffee biscuits. Whenever the aroma of coffee and the taste of biscuits are intertwined, it seems to tell us: life is so simple and beautiful.
