Mocca Rounds – Christmas Cookies with a Memory of Grandma

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're making classic mocca rounds that need overnight resting and setting time, making this a two-day project worth planning ahead for. The actual hands-on work is straightforward—you'll grind nuts, mix and chill the dough, then bake, fill, ice, and decorate the cookies—but patience is key since the icing needs to set overnight for that perfect smooth finish.

  1. 1/5

    Dough

    Grind the nuts finely. Brew 60 ml of coffee. Process the softened butter together with the remaining dough ingredients in a food processor or by hand. The dough shouldn't be sticky or crumbly – it needs to be nicely compact. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest overnight in the fridge.

  2. Cut Out the Rounds

    Cut Out the Rounds

    The next day, roll out the dough and cut out rounds or ovals. Bake on a baking tray lined with parchment paper at 150 °C (fan/convection) for 10–12 minutes. Let all the rounds cool completely.

  3. Simple Cream Filling

    3/5

    Simple Cream Filling

    Whip all the filling ingredients together until you get a smooth, fine cream. Transfer the cream to a piping bag. Divide all the baked rounds into pairs. Set one half of each pair aside, and pipe a little cream onto the other half. Top with the second half. Now the rounds are ready.

About this recipe

This old recipe for coffee rounds comes from a recipe notebook I found at my grandmother's house. It belonged to some great-aunt of mine, and it's full of real treasures. Most of the recipes revolve around Christmas cookies, and I've been trying them one by one. I was really looking forward to making these mocca rounds.
