Ingredients
*For the cookies:*
- 1 fresh egg
- 250 g flour
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 100 g powdered sugar
- Zest of one lemon
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 70 g melted butter
*For the cream:*
- 500 ml cappuccino (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons rum (optional)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
*For decoration:*
- Raspberry jam
- Ground pistachios
- Powdered sugar
Step-by-step preparation
1. Preparing the cookies: In a large bowl, beat the egg with the powdered sugar using a fork until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the lemon zest and vanilla sugar, mixing well. Incorporate the milk, sifted flour, baking powder, and melted butter. Knead the dough for a few minutes, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This will help firm up the dough, making it easier to roll out.
2. Shaping the cookies: After the dough has chilled, remove it and gently knead it to restore its elasticity. Roll it out with a rolling pin between two sheets of plastic wrap until you achieve a thickness of about 5 mm. Use a coffee cup or a cutter to cut out discs from the dough. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush them with a little water to give them a crispy texture. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes, being careful not to let them brown too much.
3. Cooling the cookies: Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and turn them upside down to cool evenly. This will help maintain their tender texture.
4. Preparing the cappuccino cream: In a saucepan, heat 500 ml of cappuccino. In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch with the sugar. Gradually add the warm cappuccino, constantly stirring with a fork to avoid lumps. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the cream thickens. Once it reaches the desired consistency, let the cream cool slightly, covering it with plastic wrap to prevent a crust from forming. Add the rum and mix well.
5. Assembling the cookies: Use a piping bag to fill half of the cookies with the cappuccino cream. Add a teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center of each cream portion, then place the other halves of the cookies on top, gently pressing to seal them.
6. Decorating: Cut a strip of silver foil and place it over each cookie, then sprinkle powdered sugar on top. You can also add ground pistachios for a more elegant look and a crunchy note.
Helpful tips
- If you don't have cappuccino prepared, you can use freshly brewed coffee mixed with milk and a little sugar. This will give the cookies an intense flavor.
- Instead of raspberry jam, you can use any other type of jam you prefer, such as apricot or peach, for a variation in taste.
- The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for a few days, but they are best enjoyed freshly assembled.
Nutritional benefits
These cappuccino cream cookies are not only delicious but also provide an energy boost from the carbohydrates in flour and sugar, as well as protein from eggs. The cappuccino adds a dose of antioxidants, while the raspberry jam is rich in vitamins and minerals. However, like any dessert, it is best enjoyed in moderation.
Frequently asked questions
