Coffee Sandwich Cookies

                                                                                      
If you are a coffee lover then these cookies are meant for you. These small delectable homemade cookies are something for which I am sure that you can not resist having only one piece. Best part is that it can be stored for days together.

                                                                       


Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
1 cup Sugar
1/2 softened unsalted Butter
1 Egg
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt


Filling:
2 tbsp Unsalted butter
1/2  cup Powdered sugar
1 tbsp Coffee granule
1 tbsp Boiling water


Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 180 Degree Celsius. Use a parchment paper on a baking tray. Beat together the butter and sugar with the help of hand blender on medium speed until light and fluffy for about 3 minutes. Add egg and mix well. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Now mix in the flour mixture with butter and mix gently with your hand. When the dough resembles a soft ball, cover in plastic wrap and keep this dough in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Take out the dough and roll it out between sheets of parchment paper into small (2-3 inches) uniformly thick base. Remember we are making sandwich cookies so try to maintain the size and thickness same. Arrange these small disks 2 inches apart in the baking sheet. And bake these for 12-15 minutes on 175 Degree Celsius or until done. And allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Now try to find identical twins to make these sandwich cookies and be sure that they are mirror image of each other.

To make the coffee filling you need to mix coffee granules in a cup with 1tbsp hot water and stir until dissolved. Beat unsalted butter in a bowl at low speed until creamy and light. Then gradually add powdered sugar and coffee liquid and mix well on low speed.

                                                                
 Now apply bottom side of 1 cookie with 1 tsp of filling and place second cookie on top. Repeat the same process with remaining cookies. Munch and enjoy these delicious cookies.
