Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong brewed Colombian coffee, cooled
- 1 cup arequipe (Colombian caramel spread)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 3In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- 4Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and brewed coffee.
- 5Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped pecans.
- 6Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- 7Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and flatten them slightly in your hands. Place a small spoonful (about 1 teaspoon) of arequipe in the center of half of the cookies.
- 8Top each filled cookie with another flattened piece of dough. Seal the edges to enclose the filling completely, forming a ball.
- 9Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 12-15 minutes until slightly firm around the edges but still soft in the center.
- 10Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
