Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp soft unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup sifted confectioner's sugar plus more, for dusting
- 1/4 cup sifted unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp Kahlúa
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- milk or cream, to thin
Instructions
- Cream the butter, sugar, and cocoa powder together in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add the cornstarch and flour and mix the dough together until thoroughly combined. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or longer if desired.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Form small heaps with the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet. I used a 1" scoop. Bake for about 13 minutes. Cool slightly on the pan, and then on a rack. Be careful, these cookies are delicate.
- Mix the soft butter with the cocoa powder and sugar, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well, until smooth and creamy. Top each cooled cookie with a generous blob of frosting, and dust with powdered sugar.
