Steps
  1. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of instant coffee in 2 tablespoons of hot water, stirring until fully dissolved. Allow to cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 stick of softened unsalted butter with 1 cup of icing sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 large beaten egg to the mixture and mix on low speed until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  5. Fold the cooled coffee mixture into the butter and egg mixture, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pipe the dough onto a lined baking tray, keeping them about an inch apart.
  7. Freeze the piped cookies for 5 to 10 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills. Bake for approximately 8 minutes or until lightly golden.
  9. Once cooled, dip the edges of cookies into melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
