Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon good quality instant espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Chocolate Whipped Cream

Directions

Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, pepper, espresso powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl; set aside.

Put butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in egg, milk, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Divide dough in half and wrap each piece with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Brush any excess flour off dough with a dry pastry brush. Cut dough using a 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Transfer heart shapes to baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat, spacing 1 inch apart.

Bake cookies until there is a slight resistance when you lightly touch the centers, about 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Fill a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip with the chocolate whipped cream. Pipe cream onto half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.

                I bought some instant espresso from the Bakers Catalogue.
                Go to Kingarthurflour.com. This is a great catalogue!

                You can usually find instant espresso powder in the coffee/tea aisle at most supermarkets. However, when I lived in Boston, I couldn't find it in any of the grocery stores. It's made by Medaglia D'Oro. You can also google "instant espresso powder", you'll get a bunch of different sites you can purchase it from.

                I made these and then sandwiched them with ice cream for my grandchildren as a special dessert for a family birthday. I put them on pretty plates, sifted icicng sugar over them and added a few coloured sprinkles as decoration. Huge success! The adult dessert was a boozy trifle, definitely for the wee ones!
                PS I just used instant coffee and only one tablespoon. It was fine.
