Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter with sugar until light. Beat in egg, molasses and coffee,
mixing well between additions.
Mix or sift dry ingredients together. Stir into batter. Mix in fruit.
Knead batter into a ball and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each
piece into a log about 1″/2.5 cm in diameter and about 16″ long.
Place on cookie sheets and press flat. Bake 9 to 10 minutes – cookies
should still be soft. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Cut about 1
“/2.5 cm wide slices on the diagonal – you will get about 8 cookies
per strip.
