Mocha Cookie Sandwiches Recipe

Directions:

1. Stir together first six ingredients; set aside. Beat butter with electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar; beat until combined. Beat in egg, chocolate, and vanilla. Beat in as much flour mixture as you can. Stir in any remaining flour mixture.
2. Divide dough into three portions. Shape each portion into 8 inch roll. Roll in pecans, pressing gently to coat. Wrap rolls in plastic wrap. Chill for 2 to 24 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut rolls into 1/4 inch slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer to wire rack; cool.
4. Spread Coffee Buttercream on bottom of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, bottoms down. If desired, pipe a small amount of buttercream on top of each cookie sandwich and add a coffee bean.
5. Coffee Buttercream: Beat powdered sugar, butter and coffee liqueur until fluffy.
