Heart-Shaped Cookies with Coffee

7. 10. 2025

Coffee hearts are rich with the robust flavor of coffee, which permeates not only the dough but also the cream itself.

Ingredients

For the dough:

• 1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 bag of baking powder
• 1 tablespoon of instant or ground coffee
• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup of ground walnuts
• milk as needed

For the cream:

• 1/2 cup of butter
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
• 1 cup of strong brewed coffee
• 1 tablespoon of coarse flour

Method

• Sift the flour, icing sugar, and baking powder into a rolling pin. Make a well in the middle; add egg yolks, butter cut into pieces, coffee, nuts, and a little milk.
• Make a smooth and elastic dough. It must not be too stiff or too thin.
• Carefully add the milk a little at a time, always mixing thoroughly before adding more.
• Once the dough has a smooth and elastic consistency, let it rest in the fridge for about 1 hour. Then, roll out the dough into a thick plate and start cutting out hearts.
• Prepare a tray, put baking paper on it (if you don’t have one, grease it), and stack the hearts on it. Bake in a heated oven at 340°F until the hearts turn pink.
• While the cookies are baking, prepare the cream.
• Boil the brewed coffee with flour to make a slurry. Set aside and let cool.
• Meanwhile, put the chopped softened butter in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar, and rub it together into a smooth foam.
• Add the coffee grounds and mix thoroughly until the cream is smooth.
• After baking, let the hearts cool, and then, always, with the help of the cream, glue two hearts together.
• Finally, you can decorate according to your own taste, for example, with chocolate coating or confectionery decoration.
