Ingredients

For the biscuits

125 g
unsalted butter, softened
50 g
light brown soft sugar
150 g
plain flour
30 g
cornflour
1 tsp.
instant coffee
1 tsp.
cocoa powder

For the filling

25 g
unsalted butter, softened
25 g
mascarpone
25 g
icing sugar, sifted
1/2 Tbsp.
coffee liqueur, we used Tia Maria

Directions

1. Step 1For the biscuits, in a medium bowl, using a handheld electric whisk, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift in both flours and fold in using a metal spoon. Divide mixture evenly between 2 bowls.
2. Step 2In a separate small bowl mix the coffee with 1tsp just-boiled water to dissolve, then mix into 1 of the biscuit dough bowls. Shape the coffee dough into a rectangular log measuring 12.5 x 3cm. Wrap well and chill for 30min.
3. Step 3Mix the cocoa powder into the remaining dough bowl and shape into a rectangular log as above. Wrap well and chill for 30min.
4. Step 4Cut both the chilled logs in 1/2 lengthways, then cut each strip lengthways into 3 thinner strips, to make 12 strips in total. Reassemble the first log, stacking 2 rows of 3 lengths on top of each other, alternating the colours. Press together gently to help seal. Repeat to reassemble the second log. Trim ends to neaten.
5. Step 5Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Cut each log widthways into 1/2cm-wide slices and arrange on the lined sheets, spacing slightly apart. Chill for 15min, to firm up.
6. Step 6Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Bake the biscuits for 10min, or until the edges are beginning to turn golden. Leave to cool on the sheets for 5min, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Step 7Meanwhile, make the filling. In a medium bowl beat all the ingredients until light and fluffy. If you like, transfer to a piping back fitted with a 1/2cm nozzle. Chill until needed. 8 Pipe dots or spread icing on to the bases of 1/2 the biscuits, then gently press on the remaining biscuits to sandwich them together. Serve.
