coffeeespresso

If you have coffee-lovers in your life, this confection is sure to be on their wish-list during the holidays. These light and airy cookies offer a flavorful kick of sweetened espresso in every bite, and will certainly satisfy the fiercest coffee craving. If mocha flavor is what you want, try dipping the cookies in smooth, melted dark chocolate; or sandwiching them around a filling of a rich, dark chocolate ganache.

Unlike the classic icebox cake, this version gets a jolt of caffeine — and some welcome sophistication — from the addition of <a href="https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/espresso-powder?headnotes=iced-coffee-icebox-cake">espresso powder</a> in the cream filling. While you could use store-bought chocolate wafers to make this cake, we’re making a very strong case for baking your own from scratch. Why? First, you can cut the cookies into squares, which means they’ll fit neatly into your pan for even layers. And, even more importantly, they taste great, with a deeply rich chocolate flavor (thanks, <a href="https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/black-cocoa-14-oz?headnotes=iced-coffee-icebox-cake">black cocoa</a>), plus a generous dose of espresso to hit the coffee theme home.
