Ingredients

• 100 g Unsalted butter, softened
• 75 g Caster sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tsp Instant coffee granules
• 1 tbsp Boiling water
• 175 g Self-raising flour
• 100 g Icing sugar
• 50 g Unsalted butter (for filling)
• 1 tsp Instant coffee granules (for filling)
• 1 tsp Boiling water (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons of instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of boiling water. Let cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the egg, followed by the cooled dissolved coffee, until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually sift in the self-raising flour and gently fold it into the mixture until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Using a teaspoon, scoop small balls of the mixture onto the prepared baking trays, leaving enough space between them to spread slightly during baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules in 1 teaspoon of boiling water and let cool.

Step 9

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter for the filling with the icing sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the cooled dissolved coffee and mix until evenly combined.

Step 10

Once the cookies are completely cool, sandwich them together with the coffee cream filling. Use a small amount of filling for each pair of cookies to avoid oozing.

Step 11

Serve your Coffee Kisses immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
