These Classic, Egg-free, Homemade Bourbon Biscuits taste a lot better than store-bought biscuits. Bourbon Biscuits are delicious chocolate flavoured biscuits sandwiched between chocolate buttercream.
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 100 gms Unsalted Butter at room temperature
- 30 gms Cocoa Powder
- 200 gms All Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 100 gms Brown Sugar
- 3 to 4 tablespoon Milk
For the Filling
- 100 gms Unsalted Butter at room temperature
- 150 gms Icing Sugar
- 2 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
To Sprinkle
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Take butter, sugar and honey in a bowl and beat till creamy.
- Add in flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and mix well.
- Add milk little by little and make a smooth dough. Refrigerate the dough for 30 mins. I used 3 & ½ tablespoon milk.
- Roll it between two parchment papers till it is ⅛" thick.
- Cut into rectangles using a cookie cutter or a knife.
- Arrange the cookies in a lined baking tray. Prick the cookies with a fork or skewer and sprinkle sugar on half of the cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 10-13 mins. Mine got done in 12 mins. Remove them from the oven and cool them down.
- Now beat the ingredients under "For the Filling". Stop when you get a fluffy and smooth buttercream.
- Now, spread the filling o one side of the cookies and sandwich with another cookie. Store them in an air-tight container. Serve.
Notes
If cookies are too thick, they may not be crispy. If they are too thin, they may turn crispy and burn faster. So, make sure the cookies are neither too thick nor too thin.
Make sure to store the cookies in an air-tight container. The cookies may turn soft after a couple of days because of the buttercream. But, they will still taste good.
The biscuits will be soft after baking. They turn crispy and firm once the cookies cool down to room temperature. So, handle with care.
Apply the buttercream after the cookies cool down so that the buttercream doesn't melt.
