Looks like cigars, but delicious and tasty. Have a coffee cream inside and chocolate dipped on each end. Hope you enjoy!
Recipe Ingredients
- 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
- 6 egg whites, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 ½ ounces bittersweet chocolate, grated
- ¼ cup coffee flavored liqueur
- 1 ½ teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 ½ ounces bittersweet chocolate, grated
Cooking Directions
- 1 In a large bowl, mix 2 cups confectioners' sugar, flour and salt. Make a well in the center and set aside.
- 2 In another bowl, combine melted butter and vanilla scrapings. Pour vanilla butter, egg whites and 1 tablespoon cream into well of dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Fold in 1 1/2 ounces grated chocolate. Chill in refrigerator 2 hours or overnight.
- 3 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- 4 Make a stencil by using a utility knife to cut a 4 1/2 inch (11.5 centimeter) circle in the center of a flexible plastic lid. Place the stencil on the baking sheet and spread 2 teaspoons of batter inside circle; remove stencil. Make 3 circles on a baking sheet.
- 5 Bake in preheated oven 2 minutes, rotate pan and bake 2 minutes more, until golden. Working quickly, remove cookie from tray with a spatula and roll around the handle of a wooden spoon. Place rolled cookies on wire rack to cool completely. If cookies harden before rolling, return to oven for 30 seconds to soften. Repeat to use all remaining batter.
- 6 To make coffee cream: Beat together coffee liqueur and espresso powder until powder is dissolved. Beat in 2 1/2 cups cream and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
- 7 Fill cooled cookies with coffee cream using a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8 inch round tip. Dip each end of filled cookies in grated chocolate. Serve at once, or store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
