Ingredients
  

  • 20 Marie biscuits
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder
  • 3/4 cup butter softened to room temperature (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar or powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2-3 drops of vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the softened butter in a bowl and add the icing sugar and cocoa powder along with vanilla extract (if using)
  • Mix thoroughly until you get a soft mixture like frosting
  • Heat the milk and add the coffee powder
  • Mix well to combine
  • Take your first Marie biscuit and dip into the hot milk for 5 seconds
  • Remove and place on a plate
  • Take about 1 tsp of the chocolate frosting and smear over the Marie biscuit
  • Take the second biscuit and repeat the same process until you have a long biscuit stack with chocolate frosting in between
  • Smear the remaining chocolate frosting all over the biscuit tower generously
  • Refrigerate this biscuit tower for approximately 2 hours or overnight
  • Take it out and lay down on a cutting board
  • Use a fork to create lines over the chocolate log to resemble the lines on a wooden log
  • Cut slightly diagonally to get your log cookies, the biscuits would be soft by then
  • Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve

Notes

  • If the chocolate coating starts to melt once left outside, refrigerate again. To prevent this, make sure to use icing sugar rather than regular powdered sugar which has more moisture
  • You can try the same recipe with digestive biscuits too
  • The coffee powder in the milk is optional and it doesn't really give a strong flavour to the final cookies. I just like to mix coffee and cocoa so I add it usually. The vanilla is optional too but recommended
  • The butter needs to be soft but not melted. Singapore is hot almost all the time and the day I made these, the butter kept melting on me. I had to add another 2 tbsp of icing sugar to stabilise it a bit so take note if you live in a warm place
  • You can add some chopped cashew nuts or almond flakes over the log if you'd like. Makes it fancier and tastier
