These biscuits are an adult flavoured cookie with fresh coffee grounds, cinnamon and dark chocolate. Cookies can be chocolate dipped, but I thought a good crust of cinnamon caster sugar prior to baking would add a satisfying crunch - similar to a Nice biscuit.

Mocha Cookies
1 cup sugar
1 cup softened butter
1 tablespoon milk
1 egg
60g dark chocolate, melted
2.5 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons coffee grounds
0.25 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
Castor sugar / ground cinnamon (mixed) for coating prior to baking

Cream butter and sugar on high in a mixer bowl for approx 5 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add milk and egg and beat for a further 2-3 minutes. Add the melted chocolate and beat till combined. Reduce speed to low and add flour, cinnamon, coffee grounds, baking powder and salt. Mix till combined.

Line three small loaf tins (about 10cm x 22cm) with wax paper and press mixture evenly in to each tin. Harden the mixture in the fridge/freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Unmold the biscuit block from the tins and slice into 0.75mm slices. Press the slice into the caster sugar/cinnamon mix and place on a lined baking tray. I found that double crusting the biscuit gave a better crackle effect - ie. crust biscuit, wait five minutes then crust again.

Bake for 12-15 minutes in a preheated 190 degree celcius oven till firm and crackled.

This recipe makes approximately 30 biscuits.
