Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and 1/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg, vanilla and kahlua. Mix flour, cocoa, cream of tartar, baking powder, and soda together. Add the dry mix to the wet and mix.
  • Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment or silpat. Scoop 1 tbsp of dough, roll into a ball, and coat it with cinnamon mix. Place the balls on the sheet pan 3 inches apart. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon mix. Allow to cool before filling.

Coffee Ganache

  • In a small pot heat cream with the coffee beans until boiling. Remove from heat and allow to steep for 5-10 minutes. Place the chocolate in a metal bowl and strain the cream on top. Fill the pot with 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Place the bowl on top of the pot to finish melting the chocolate. When the chocolate still has 1 or 2 small solid pieces, remove it from the heat. Stir until all of the chocolate has melted and mix in vanilla. Allow mixture to cool until it is spreadable consistency.
  • Spread 1 1/2 teaspoon of ganache on half the cookies. Top the ganache with another cookie. Store in an airtight container.
