Time 1h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup Sugar In The Raw®
½ cup Stevia In The Raw®
1 ½ teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 eggs
½ cup salted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons instant espresso powder
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup low-fat milk
½ cup salted butter, at room temperature
⅓ cup Sugar In The Raw®
⅓ cup Stevia In The Raw®

Steps:

  • Preheat pizzelle baker. Over a large bowl, sift to combine flour, cocoa and baking powder.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk to combine Sugar In The Raw®, Stevia In The Raw® and espresso powder. Whisk in eggs then butter and vanilla. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Add a heaping teaspoon of batter to the bottom grid of the pizzelle baker. Close the iron and cook until the timer light indicates - about 45 seconds. Cool on wire rack and repeat with remaining batter.
  • To make buttercream begin by dissolving espresso powder into the vanilla extract in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan whisk flour and milk over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens to a paste. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely to room temperature. Stir in vanilla-espresso mixture.
  • While the mixture cools, using a stand or hand mixer cream the butter, Sugar In The Raw and Stevia In The Raw until light and fluffy - about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides throughout beating to ensure butter, sugar and stevia combine completely. Add the cooled milk mixture and beat an additional 5 minutes until cohesive.
  • Arrange half the cookies on your countertop or work surface. Spread buttercream onto cookies and top with remaining half of cookies.
