These cookies are very buttery despite using non dairy butter. I made a variation before, using golden vegetable shortening, and the cookies were also buttery. - In other words, if you do not have diet restriction nor living plant-based, dairy butter would definitely also give wonderful buttery result :)

You can subs the coffee granules with decaffeinated coffee, if you prefer so.

Give this recipe a try, I have a strong feeling you will be hooked. The combination of coffee, cardamom, and dark chocolate really compliment each other, if I may say so myself :)
