    Cooking Time: 40 mins

    Ingredients

    • 190g butter
    • 150g castor sugar
    • 300g (2½ cups) cake flour
    • 5ml (1 tsp) ground cloves
    • 2 large eggs

    • 15ml (1 tbsp) water
    • 130g (1 cup) icing sugar

    Instructions

    1

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

    2

    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.

    3

    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.

    4

    For the icing, dissolve the coffee powder in the water. Add the icing sugar and mix.

    5

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