Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks
2 tbsp coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua (or 2 tbsp brewed coffee)
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, melted, and cooled*
About 1/2 cup dulce de leche or very thick, spreadable caramel**
For garnish (optional):
Ground almonds
Additional cocoa, cinnamon and/or chili powder
*For the best chocolate flavor, look for bittersweet chocolate with a minimum of 60 percent cocoa solids.
**Dulce de leche is available near the canned milk at Latin markets and many supermarkets. To make your own from condensed milk, visit www.milk-dot-com/recipes/dessert/dulce-de-leche.html.
Preheat oven to 350 with oven racks in upper and lower thirds.
Sift or whisk together flour, cocoa, chili powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl until combined. Set aside.
Combine butter and sugar in a bowl. Using an electric mixer or wooden spoon, beat until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, coffee liqueur (or coffee) and vanilla, beating well, scraping down the sides after each addition. Mix in the cooled chocolate. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time, and mix until combined well.
Drop batter by rounded tsp 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. If desired, sprinkle with ground almonds. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until cookies are puffed up and dry looking around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool.
Continue with the remaining dough, making sure to let the baking sheets cool between batches.
To fill the cookies; spread 1/2 tsp of dulce de leche on the flat side of a cookie, top with a second cookie to form a sandwich. Fill remaining cookies in the same manner.
Dust with additional cocoa powder and a sprinkle of cinnamon, ground almonds and/or chili powder. Makes 2 dozen sandwich cookies
