HOLIDAY MOCHA SPRITZ



Holiday Mocha Spritz image

When I began to use my spritz press, this mocha recipe was the first flavor combination I tried. It took a few attempts to get the hang of it, but now I'm playing with a new dough and disc every time I make them. I plan on making several batches throughout the year. -Shelly L.

Time 37m

Yield 90-120 Spritz cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cocoa powder, heaped

  • Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, Beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Add the chocolate, beat again, add coffee and cocoa powder.
  • Gradually add the the flour mixture while making.
  • Fit a cookie press with desired plate and fill the press with dough, press the dough 1 inch apart onto a ungreased cookie sheet. If you don't have a press, I'm sure you could use a pasty bag and pipe shapes.
  • Bake batches for 7 mins or until set (you might want to play around with timings as most ovens are unique). Note these cookies harden whilst they cool, I would also recommend using a mixer unless your super strong as it's quite a lot of dough.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your mocha spritz. Look for a rich, dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use freshly brewed coffee: Stale coffee will make your spritz taste flat and watery. Brew a fresh pot of coffee just before making your spritz.
  • Make your simple syrup ahead of time: Simple syrup is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This will save you time when you're ready to make your spritz.
  • Don't over-shake your spritz: Over-shaking will make your spritz too foamy. Shake it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish your spritz with a twist of orange peel or a sprinkle of cinnamon: This will add a festive touch to your drink.

Conclusion:

The holiday mocha spritz is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for any holiday gathering. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy texture, and hint of coffee, this spritz is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special drink to serve your guests, give the holiday mocha spritz a try.
