Ingredients

  • 125g (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened

  • 60g (½ cup) icing sugar

  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract

  • 90g (¾ cup) plain flour

  • 45g (¼ cup) rice flour

  • 30g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 55g (½ cup) ground almonds

  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, extra, for dusting

Mascarpone cream

  • 1 tbsp instant coffee granules

  • 110g (½ cup) mascarpone cheese

  • 3 tsp icing sugar

Chocolate spread

  • 100g (⅔ cup) dark chocolate, chopped

  • 20g unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 tbsp coffee liqueur

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 170C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl using electric beaters. Sift in the flours, cocoa and almonds and stir with a wooden spoon to form a soft dough.

  3. Step 3

    Shape teaspoons of the dough into balls, place on the prepared trays 4cm apart and flatten slightly. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool on the trays for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

  4. Step 4

    To make the mascarpone cream, combine the instant coffee with 1 teaspoon boiling water, stir to dissolve and allow to cool. Add the mascarpone and sugar.

  5. Step 5

    To make the chocolate spread, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until the chocolate has melted. Remove from the heat and place in a clean bowl. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes and then add the butter and liqueur, stir and use immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Spread 1½ teaspoons of the chocolate spread onto half the cookies. Top with 2 teaspoons of mascarpone cream and sandwich with the remaining cookies. Dust with cocoa.

  7. Step 7

    Serve filled cookies immediately. Unfilled cookies will keep, stored in an airtight container, for up to 2 weeks.
