Clove and coffee biscuit sandwiches

Serves: Makes about 10 sandwiches
Cooking Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 190g butter
  • 150g castor sugar
  • 300g (2½ cups) cake flour
  • 5ml (1 tsp) ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • Icing

  • 15ml (1 tbsp) instant coffee powder
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) water
  • 130g (1 cup) icing sugar
  • coffee beans, to garnish

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

2

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the flour, cloves and eggs, and mix to form a dough. Knead the dough for 2 minutes, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

3

Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and cut out biscuits with a cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on the baking tray and bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

4

For the icing, dissolve the coffee powder in the water. Add the icing sugar and mix.

5

Spread some icing on a biscuit, then top with another biscuit to form a sandwich. Drizzle with the icing and garnish with coffee beans.
