cookie -

there are so many -

here's some -

Coffee-Scotch Icing

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup double-strength coffee
1 tbsp light corn syrup
2 egg whites


Cook sugars, coffee and corn syrup (without stirring) to 240F or until small amount dropped from tip of spoon spins a long thread.

Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry, pour syrup slowly into egg whites, beating constantly. Continue beating until thick enough to spread.

Will frost 2 (9-inch) layers.



Mocha Buttercream Frosting


1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa
1 lb. confectioners sugar
1 stick (4 oz.) butter, softened
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1/4 cup coffee

Combine confectioners sugar and cocoa in a bowl and stir well to combine. Add the softened butter and mix in gently. Add the coffee liquid a small amount at a time, and beat with electric beater until smooth and spreadable. You may not need all of the coffee liquid and you may also need to add slightly more.

Mama, Thank You. I'm going to try the Mocha butter cream frosting. It sounds like the closest one to it. I remember she did use instant coffee in hers. Cookie :)
