In a bowl mix together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, sugars, and coffee together until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat to combine. With mixer on low, slowly beat in flour mixture until fully incorporated.
Optional: Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. You can skip this if you're short on time, but I do feel like it improves the flavor and the overall texture just a bit. If you plan on skipping refrigeration make sure you preheat your oven before you start making your dough.
Scoop onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper by the spoonfuls. Bake in a 350° F oven for 11 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove and let cool.
