wow - great way to squeeze as much as possible from that nice coffee bean. Thank you
Great idea! I was expecting to see you taking a bite to one of them and showing us the texture. I'll try them!
science based cookie!
So glad the algorithm recommended this video and channel! Food science is so rad.
Anyway, I made the cookies right after watching and they're delish. I'd love for spent coffee to be a whole series! This really opens up so much :) Like I'm sure it would be seamless to incorporate the spent grounds in bean based brownies and really anything chocolate.
I'll likely make them tomorrow as well and test the flexibility/boundaries of the recipe.
This idea "Putting used coffee grounds into cookies may sound like a terrible idea, but these cookies are actually delicious and may even be healthy." It might be a good idea to reuse the coffee grounds we drink every day!
I look forward to the sequel.
Thanks for your feedback!
Genius...... though I did amend the recipe quite a bit, it served as a good foundation. I used mostly almond flour and substituted a flax meal egg for the chicken. They were scrumptious!
Thanks for the interesting information!
Another great video! I love the mix of the science and history stuff before the cooking. Keep up the good work 👑
Thanks!
Putting indigestible fiber in to make these healthier reminds me of "how much sawdust can be added before someone notices?". Anyone studying the effect of sawdust on satiety and weight loss?
As a matter of fact, there are quite a few studies on this specific subject. You can also find a lot of information by googling cellulose, cellulose gum, methyl cellulose, CM3, Plenity, etc.
Sawdust is mostly cellulose. Powdered cellulose has been sold as a supplement for quite some time.
The difference between powdered cellulose and sawdust lies in the amount of cellulose they contain.
Consider using oat flour instead of cake flour if you want high fiber cookies.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Extremely well presented, well done!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing that. We use our spent grounds in lots of other ways and this is yet another great method in reducing waste.
Mindblowing ! Thanks for the video 🙏🏽
Thanks!
Amazing! As a coffee lover, this is something I look forward to trying.
First I must save and dry my grounds, and find a way to grind them fine enough.
The cookies are definitely worth the extra effort it takes to prepare the coffee grounds! Happy baking 😄
@@NovitaListyani Thanks, you continue to amaze me.
@@NovitaListyanican they be made with fresh grounds? ❤
This is a really good idea. The process is always really easy.
I'll make them this week.
Have fun!
This was interesting. I never developed a taste for coffee so I won’t try it. I will pass this along to people that like coffee.
I wonder if cookies made with tea might have some benefits.
If you pyrolysis the coffee grounds and then mix in concrete it makes it about 30% stronger.
I believe I've seen a few papers using tea leaves as functional ingredients, so it might have the similar benefits, especially with regards to the fiber content.
thank you for the idea sis
Greetings from Phoenix, Arizona, USA! I've learned a lot about bread making from your videos. I was excited to see your new video because I recently bought an espresso machine and have been wondering if there's anything I can do with the spent coffee pucks. I'll have to give your cookie recipe a try. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words, greetings from Bali! An espresso's spent grounds are probably perfect for this cookie recipe given how fine they are, so you should definitely try it.
@@NovitaListyani I think you're right about the espresso grounds. Will give it a try!!
Brilliant idea! I often wondered if something like this could be done with them, but never gave it a try. My spent grounds all go out to my garden composter. I will look to invest in an extra fine coffee grinder mill. As we could all use the extra fiber. 👍
Indeed, extra dietary fiber is always a good thing 😄
Great video. A few years ago a company started selling coffee flour. I don't know if they still do but homemade is always better. Grinding the spent grounds in a high powered blender like a Blendtec or Vitamix should make a fine powder/flour. I bet the flour would be great in brownies.
Thank you for all the info in your video.
I baked the cookies and although the cookies looked super cute the taste of them unfortunately didn’t floor me. My husband said they were nice, but lacked sweetness (which I agree) and the cookies had a hint of smokiness too them, which was a bit weird. Maybe it’s the brand of coffee I used. I definitely won’t give up though and will try to bake them again and tweak the recipe. I will increase the amount of sugar to 80g, will switch to part brown sugar (for extra rich flavour) and will also add vanilla bean paste, which I think will go quite well with the coffee flavour. Hope it works out, because I love the idea of repurposing coffee grounds.
Baked them again with the tweaked recipe and they turned out great.
I used 30g of brown sugar, 50g of white sugar, a bit of vanilla paste and a dash of heavy whipping cream, because I didn’t have milk powder.
These look absolutely fabulous! I thought you had some insanely large coffee beans before realising those were the actual cookies.
I would love to see more (relatively) healthy cookie recipes!
Thanks for the suggestion!
I think this is a neat idea and I will certainly try this out. I would be curious about applications for savory dishes, maybe in a curry roux block? Could coffee grinds be cooked down into a porridge and used in bread with the same effect?
Used coffee grounds in curry blocks sounds like an interesting idea, I'd be worried about the grittiness of the coffee grounds standing out against the soft curry though.
About the coffee grounds in porridge for bread, I think that ultimately it wouldn't change the core characteristics of the grounds, and they would still interfere with the gluten network, potentially causing dense bread.
Can you use unused coffee grounds? Can you omit egg yolk? I love the shape and this idea for coffee cookies!
Nice job 👏 Yummy
Thank you 😋
Interesting. I remember back in time, the old one said, when have some coffee ground left on the bottom of the cup, just mix it and drink, coffee ground makes you nice. Today we do studies about things the olds knowing already. Indeed, if it is good for your gut, you'll feel good. Anyway, another great video. 🤟 But it makes me hungry now, coooookies....get me cookies.
Have just made my first batch of cookies, my friends birthday today, will be offering them along side birthday cake for morning tea celebration.
very interesting... will try this..
All the best
Genius
I use them for compost but this sounds more delicious
It's super delicious 😃
我經常早上的蔬菜沙拉中添加用過的咖啡渣和茶葉. 沒有什麼浪費。 😎
谢谢
Thank you for the interesting recipe, I will try it out. Maybe I missed it, but why and when do you add milk powder?
Oops, that was from our previous experiment, in this video, we decided to skip it, we found it to be unnecessary. I have just deleted it from the description box.
Interesting video, would you mind citing your sources, thanks. ☕
They are in the video and now I have just added them to the description box.
@@NovitaListyani Yay, thanks, googling those actually seems to work as well.
So cute, like giant coffee beans!
Thanks!
Definitely going to try these. I wonder if a mortar and pestle will grind the spend grounds fine enough for folks doing a coarser grind coffee? Also, English makes no sense: biscuit pronounces like bis-kit, and cocoa pronounces like co-co.
Thank you for the pronunciation tip! I must've gotten the pronunciation mixed up with another language, whoops.
A mortar and pestle certainly could grind the spent grounds fine enough but it would require quite a bit of energy and I would still recommend sieving the grounds afterwards because there might be uneven pieces.
@@NovitaListyani No worries, some of us even have difficulty keeping a single language straight. 😊
I tried these and the taste is fine but they are very dry with a powdery mouthfeel when eating. Should I use a bit less flour? Or perhaps I over baked?
You may want to try adding a bit more butter or about a tsp or two of fresh milk to soften the dough.
Yesterday they were saying unfiltered (no paper) coffee like french press is bad for you because the coffee oils increase blood cholesterol. Now adding the grounds in food make it healthier? Can’t keep up with this coffee science.
I assume you meant diterpenes (cafestol and kahweol), compounds that can raise cholesterol. In the context of drinking coffee, that makes sense. But when we're talking about cookies, the amount of butter and sugar would likely contribute more to unwanted cholesterol. The amount of diterpenes is relatively small in the small amount of coffee grounds used in cookies. Interestingly, though, in addition to the effect of raising serum lipid, in vitro and in vivo experimental results have revealed that the two diterpenes, cafestol and kahweol, demonstrate multiple potential pharmacological actions such as anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and anti-osteoclastogenesis activities.
i love you
