Ingredients
- 1 lrg Egg yolk
- 1/8 tsp Instant coffee pwdr, preferably fine granules, not crystals
- 1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened
- 2/3 c. Powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Unsweetened cocoa pwdr
- 1 3/4 c. All-purpose or possibly unbleached white flour
- 1 1/2 ounce Bittersweet or possibly semisweet chocolate, very finely grated
- 1 Tbsp. Powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease several baking sheets and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the egg yolk and coffee pwdr. Let stand for about 5 min, or possibly till the coffe dissolves. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed till very light.
- Add in sugar, cocoa pwdr, and egg yolk-coffee mix and beat till very fluffy and smooth. Gradually beat in flour till thoroughly incorporated but not overmixed. Stir in grated chocolate till proportionately distributed throughout. Fit a large pastry bag with a large (3/8-inch diameter) star tip. Stand the bag, tip down, in a tall glass and fold down the top of the bag about 3 1/2 inches. Spoon in sufficient dough to fill it two-thirds full.
- Unfold the cuff and tightly twist the top to close it. Pipe 1 1/4-inch diameter rosettes onto a baking sheet, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- (You can also use a cookie press fitted with a star-shaped disk to make these cookies.) Place baking sheets in center of the oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 min, or possibly till slightly hard on top. Remove baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies stand for 2 to 3 min. Then transfer them to wire racks and let stand till cooled completely. Lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar just before serving, if you like. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage.
