You're reviving a treasured family recipe that takes patience and planning—the dough needs to rest overnight before baking, then you'll sandwich the cooled rounds with a silky coffee cream and top them with a delicate egg white icing. The final touch is hand-piping chocolate 'm's on top, making these nostalgic mocha cookies as charming as the family memories they come with.

Dough
Grind the walnuts finely. Brew 60 ml of coffee. Work the softened butter and the remaining ingredients into a dough, either in a stand mixer or by hand. The dough shouldn't be sticky or crumbly - it needs to be nice and compact. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest overnight in the fridge.

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

Simple cream filling
Whip all the ingredients together into a smooth, silky cream. Spoon the cream into 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. Top with the second half. Now the rounds are ready.
