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

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.

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.

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