Method
 

Preparation
  1. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of instant coffee in 2 tablespoons of hot water in a small bowl. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 stick of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of icing sugar. Beat together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 large beaten egg to the mixture and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the cooled coffee mixture into the creamed butter and sugar blend until combined, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Transfer the cookie dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe shapes onto a lined baking tray, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  7. Freeze the piped cookies for 5-10 minutes before baking.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for approximately 8 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow to cool on the tray before transferring to a wire rack. Dip in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
