Yield Makes 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons hot water
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend flour, brown sugar, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon espresso powder and salt in processor. Add butter and vanilla. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add nuts; blend until finely chopped. Transfer dough to floured work surface. Knead just until dough comes together.
  • Divide dough in half. Press each half into 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Bake until deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer shortbread to rack; cool 2 minutes. Remove pan sides.
  • Cut each shortbread round into 24 wedges. Cool completely.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons hot water and remaining 1 teaspoon espresso powder in small saucepan. Add chocolate. Stir over medium-low heat until chocolate is smooth. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Drizzle chocolate mixture over cookies. Let stand until chocolate sets. (Can be prepared ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week, or freeze up to 1 month.)

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE SABLÉS

These espresso-infused dark chocolate-chunk shortbread cookies come from master baker Dorie Greenspan's new cookbook Dorie's Cookies.

Categories     Cookies     Dorie Greenspan     Chocolate     Christmas     Edible Gift     Coffee     Bake

Yield Makes about 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso
1 tablespoon boiling water
2 sticks (8 ounces; 226 grams) unsalted butter, cut into chunks, at room temperature
2/3 cup (80 grams) confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups (272 grams) all-purpose flour
4 ounces (113 grams) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Dissolve the espresso in the boiling water. Set the extract aside to cool to lukewarm or room temperature.
  • Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon, if you're using it, together on medium speed for about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed, until well blended.
  • Mix in the vanilla and espresso extract on low speed. Turn off the mixer, add the flour all at once and pulse to begin incorporating it, then mix on low speed until the flour almost disappears into the dough. Scrape down the bowl, add the chopped chocolate and mix until evenly distributed. Give the dough a few last turns with a sturdy flexible spatula.
  • Turn the dough out onto the counter and divide it in half. Shape each half into a disk. Working with one piece of dough at a time, sandwich it between pieces of parchment paper and roll it to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Slide the dough, still sandwiched, onto a baking sheet-you can stack the slabs-and freeze the dough for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Getting ready to bake:
  • Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 325ºF. Butter or spray a regular muffin tin, or two tins, if you've got them. Have a 2-inch-diameter cookie cutter at hand.
  • Working with one sheet of dough at a time, peel away both pieces of paper and put the dough back on one piece of paper. Cut the dough and drop the rounds into the muffin tin(s).
  • The dough might not fill the molds completely, but it will once baked. Save the scraps from both pieces of dough, then gather them together, re-roll, chill and cut.
  • Bake the cookies for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they feel firm to the touch and have some color. Transfer the muffin tin(s) to a rack and leave the cookies in the tin(s) for about 10 minutes before carefully lifting them out onto the rack to cool completely.
  • Continue with the remainder of the dough, if you only baked one sheet, always using cool tins.
  • Playing Around
  • For Ringed Espresso-Chocolate Sablés: If you have 2-inch baking rings, use them to cut out the rolled dough. Bake the dough-in the rings-on lined baking sheets just as you would the muffin-tin cookies. Leave the rings in place for at least 20 minutes before lifting them off, rinsing and reusing.

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Hazelnut     Gourmet     Queens     New York     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup hazelnuts (2 oz)
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Toast hazelnuts in a shallow baking pan until fragrant and skins begin to loosen, about 6 minutes. Rub nuts in a kitchen towel to remove any loose skins (some skins may not come off) and cool to room temperature.
  • Pulse nuts and 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor until nuts are finely ground, then add flour and a pinch of salt, pulsing until combined. Add butter and pulse until dough just forms a ball. Divide dough in half, then roll dough on a work surface lightly dusted with sugar and flour into 2 (11-inch-long) logs (each about 1 inch wide). Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, 1 hour.
  • Cut logs crosswise into 1/2-inch slices and arrange rounds 2 inches apart on 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until bottom edges just begin to turn pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on sheet 2 minutes. Place remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a small dish and dip tops of cookies in it, then cool sugared cookies on a rack.
