Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Chocolate sandwich cookies are two shortbread rounds glued together with melted chocolate: the top half has a cut-out window, the bottom stays whole. They bake in 12-15 minutes at 180°C and make a great snack for school or work. I happily recommend them.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 100 g butter or margarine, room temperature
• 2 cup flour
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 1 ml vanilla essence or a pinch of vanillin
• 1 egg
• 100 g chocolate for filling or thick jam

Method

 

1. Beat the room-temperature butter with the sugar using a mixer, add the egg, and mix.
2. Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla essence, mix, then add a cup of flour. Work in the rest of the flour gradually by hand and knead the dough.
3. Roll the dough into a thin sheet no thicker than 0.5 cm and cut out shapes: an equal number of whole rounds and rounds with a pattern cut out of the center.
4. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C for 12-15 minutes. Remove and let cool.
   
5. Spread the whole rounds with melted chocolate and cover with the windowed rounds.
   
6. Let the cookies sit until the chocolate sets. Enjoy!
   

Notes

The chocolate can be swapped for thick jam.

Tips

• The chocolate can be swapped for any thick jam - whatever you prefer.
• Roll the dough thin, no thicker than 0.5 cm, so the cookies come out crisp.
• Make sure you have an equal number of windowed and whole rounds - count them as you cut.
