Cinnamon Espresso Cream Sables Recipes

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE SABLÉS

Steps:

• Dissolve the espresso in the boiling water. Set the extract aside to cool to lukewarm or room temperature.
• Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon, if you're using it, together on medium speed for about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed, until well blended.
• Mix in the vanilla and espresso extract on low speed. Turn off the mixer, add the flour all at once and pulse to begin incorporating it, then mix on low speed until the flour almost disappears into the dough. Scrape down the bowl, add the chopped chocolate and mix until evenly distributed. Give the dough a few last turns with a sturdy flexible spatula.
• Turn the dough out onto the counter and divide it in half. Shape each half into a disk. Working with one piece of dough at a time, sandwich it between pieces of parchment paper and roll it to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Slide the dough, still sandwiched, onto a baking sheet-you can stack the slabs-and freeze the dough for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Getting ready to bake:
• Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 325ºF. Butter or spray a regular muffin tin, or two tins, if you've got them. Have a 2-inch-diameter cookie cutter at hand.
• Working with one sheet of dough at a time, peel away both pieces of paper and put the dough back on one piece of paper. Cut the dough and drop the rounds into the muffin tin(s).
• The dough might not fill the molds completely, but it will once baked. Save the scraps from both pieces of dough, then gather them together, re-roll, chill and cut.
• Bake the cookies for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they feel firm to the touch and have some color. Transfer the muffin tin(s) to a rack and leave the cookies in the tin(s) for about 10 minutes before carefully lifting them out onto the rack to cool completely.
• Continue with the remainder of the dough, if you only baked one sheet, always using cool tins.
• Playing Around
• For Ringed Espresso-Chocolate Sablés: If you have 2-inch baking rings, use them to cut out the rolled dough. Bake the dough-in the rings-on lined baking sheets just as you would the muffin-tin cookies. Leave the rings in place for at least 20 minutes before lifting them off, rinsing and reusing.

CINNAMON ESPRESSO BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray; coat with flour. In large bowl, beat brown sugar, butter and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until blended, or mix with spoon. Stir in remaining bar ingredients. Spread in pan.
• Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until top springs back when touched in center.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all glaze ingredients with spoon until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars while warm. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.

CINNAMON ESPRESSO MARTINI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar to the espresso and stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside for a few minutes to cool slightly.
• Dip the rim of a 4-ounce martini glass in heavy cream, then coat with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
• Add ice to a cocktail shaker, then pour in the espresso mixture, Smirnoff® Original Vodka, and remaining tablespoon of heavy cream. Place the lid on the shaker and shake for 1 minute, until very cold.
• Strain the martini into the prepared glass.
• Enjoy!

CINNAMON ESPRESSO

Steps:

• Put about 6 or 7 Tablespoons of coffee beans in your coffee grinder.
• Add a small piece of cinnamon stick to the beans. Try a very small piece the first time. The idea is to get the aroma of the cinnamon in the coffee but not taste it fully in the drink. If you are crazy about cinnamon, put in a bit more. Personally, I like to put in a very small sliver.
• Grind the coffee beans and the cinnamon together.
• Make espresso as usual using whatever machine you usually use.
• Add sugar and/or milk if desired.

CINNAMON-ESPRESSO CHURROS

Steps:

• Cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and espresso powder. Set aside.
• Churros: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust liberally with flour. Set aside. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the water, butter, sugar, espresso powder, and salt over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and, using a wooden spoon, stir in the 1 cup of flour all at once. Return the pan to low heat and stir continuously until the mixture forms a thick dough, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. With the machine running on medium speed, slowly add the eggs. Continue to beat until the eggs are fully incorporated and the dough is thick, about 4 minutes. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 4-inch long logs.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in a couple of minutes.) Using a thin metal spatula, transfer the dough, 4 pieces at a time, into the hot oil, and fry until dark-golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and roll in the cinnamon-espresso sugar while still hot. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

CINNAMON ESPRESSO BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coffee granules, water and vanilla. In a small bowl, cream the butter, confectioners' sugar and cinnamon until light and fluffy. Add coffee mixture; beat until smooth. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

CINNAMON SABLES

Steps:

• 1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a food processor, beat the butter and brown sugar until smooth. Then add one of the eggs and mix to combine. Add the flour, cinnamon, and salt, and beat or pulse to form a dough. Roll the dough to form one or two long cylinders about 2 inches in diameter, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or as long as 3 days.
• 2. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners.
• 3. Beat the remaining egg in a bowl. Pour about 1/4 inch of granulated sugar into a shallow dish. Brush the outside of the dough log with the beaten egg, then roll the log in the sugar to coat it. Slice 1/4-inch coins of cookie dough from the log, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets.
• 4. Bake until lightly browned around the edges and firm, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets. These cookies will keep for 1 week, stored airtight at room temperature.
