  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp finely ground espresso beans

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

For a vegan option, substitute unsalted butter with plant-based butter and use powdered sugar made without bone char.
