1/2 cup caster sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon instant coffee powder

1/2 cup almond meal (ground almonds)

3/4 cup plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup frozen mixed berries, thawed

2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

2 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Grease and line a large baking tray with baking paper. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale and creamy. Beat in egg until combined.

2.Add coffee, almond meal, flour and baking powder to egg mixture; stir until combined.

3.Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls. Place on prepared trays, allowing room for spreading; flatten slightly. Bake, swapping trays halfway through cooking, for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven. Cool on trays to allow cookies to firm.

4.Combine berries, zest and juice in a medium bowl. Dust cookies with icing sugar. Serve with berry mixture and ice-cream.

You can make your own almond meal by processing blanched almond kernels. You could also use hazelnut meal.
