Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by dissolving the instant coffee in hot water, stir until fully combined, then set aside to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter with icing sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the beaten egg to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  4. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the cooled coffee mixture into the creamed butter mix and then gradually add the dry ingredients.
  6. Transfer the dough into a piping bag and pipe small rounds onto lined baking trays.
  7. Chill the piped dough in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for approximately 8 minutes.
  9. Once cooled, dip half of each cookie in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
