Chocolate Chocolate Sandwich cookies

Well i have not made these in awhile, actually 3 years since i came up with them, there are a number of steps to making of the these cookies and well when I am in cookie mode a usually skip the step of the filling and just dust the cookies and place them in the gift boxes. But I was asked by a new publisher for sandwich cookie recipes and i came across this recipe in the file and though, hmm i should include this one, enjoy.

Chocolate Chocolate Sandwich cookies

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup of unbleached flour
12 oz of white chocolate, its about a bag of white chocolate
1/4 cup of green and greens cocoa powder
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 cup of raw sugar
1 egg
1/2 heavy cream
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and baking powder.
In the stand mixer cream together to butter and sugar. Next add the vanilla and egg, combine until light. Now slowly add the flour mixture. Remove from bowl, wrap in plastic and cool for at least 2 hours in fridge.

Om a cool surface roll out dough until about 1/8 inch thick, either with your favorite cookie cutter or just a knife cut out the dough. Reuse the scraps until all dough has been used. Remember you need a even number of cut outs to make the sandwich cookies. Place on parchment lined cookie sheets ans bake in a 325 oven for about 12 minutes or until the cookies start to brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

In a small bowl place white chocolate. In a small sauce pan heat heavy cream to a boil, then pour over the white chocolate, let stand until melted then whisk together. Chill for at least an hour. Then spread on one cookie and place another cookie on top. Repeat until done. You may also want to melt additional white chocolate then drizzle over the top of the sandwich's for decoration.

Enjoy Cooking
