Espresso Doily Cookies Recipes

ESPRESSO DOILY COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat espresso beans and milk in a small saucepan until the milk begins to simmer. Remove from heat, and let stand for 15 minutes. Strain, and discard espresso beans.
• Meanwhile, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add extracts. Mix flour and salt in a small bowl. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with espresso-infused milk, and beating just until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut dough in half. On lightly floured parchment, roll out each piece slightly thicker than 1/8 inch. Using scallop-edged or fluted round cutters, cut out cookies, and place on a baking sheet 1 inch apart. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from freezer, and cut out doily patterns in centers of cookies using aspic cutters; discard scraps. (If the dough begins to soften, return cookies to freezer until firm.) Bake until edges are set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
