Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and it has been enjoyed for centuries. Coffee plants are native to tropical Africa (specifically the Ethiopian plateau) and Madagascar, the Comoro Islands, Mauritius, Réunion, Mayotte and the Seychelles. Coffee is a complex beverage that contains over 1,000 different flavor and aroma compounds. The main psychoactive ingredient in coffee is caffeine, a stimulant that has been shown to improve mood, alertness, and cognitive function. Coffee also contains antioxidants, which may help to protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.
Coffee and cookies make a delightful combination that combines the rich, aromatic flavor of coffee with the comforting sweetness of cookies. Coffee cookies can vary widely in flavor and texture, from soft and chewy to crisp and crunchy. There are many variations on this recipe, but they all typically include some form of coffee, flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and baking soda.
