- Bake for 10–15 minutes or until lightly golden.

Hints & Tips
- Use strong coffee – A richer brew will give the biscuits a deeper, more robust flavour.
- Chill the dough – If the dough feels sticky, refrigerate it for 15 minutes before rolling into balls.
- Even sizing – Roll all the biscuits to the same size for even baking.
- Store well – Keep in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
- Optional glaze – Drizzle with a light coffee icing for an extra touch of flavour.
