Cafe Mocha Turbine Cookie

There was a cookie making competition and I created these cookies. They requested some odd ingredients, like cocoa nibs, coffee, turbanado sugar.

These didn't win an award, but they are stellar. 

Cafe Mocha Sandwich Cookie

1 cup butter
1 1/3 cup tubanado sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons good coffee grounds
2 tablespoons cocoa nibs
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
 2 cup and 2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. In a coffee grinder pulverize coffee and nibs. Add to butter. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Scrape sides. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Chill 1-2 hours. Roll thinly and cut into shape. Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes. Cool.

Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Put a bit between two cookies, streak with additional cookies.
