Double Chocolate Ganache Sandwich Cookie Recipe. Creamy chocolate ganache truffle filling sandwiched between two crispy chocolate cookies.
I don’t have a whole to say today folks! Im not sure if my brain is hibernating or Im just not feeling chatty. But I will tell you about these cookies!
Chocolate sugar cookies are special! They take a few added steps of refrigeration in between steps but its worth it! Crispy, sweet and chocolatey. Honestly these could be eaten all by themselves if you wanted to. They would be treat enough!
But since Valentines is right around the corner I thought it would be nice to make these super special with smooth, creamy, rich ganache (the same filling in chocolate truffles). Not only do the cookies with the ganache taste amazing together but the crispy texture of the cookie with the creamy ganache filling is a match made in heaven!
To make these cookies look special I dipped one side in chocolate and then sprinkled them with SprinklePop’s Perfectly Purple Mix, so pretty!! I just love the variety of sizes, shapes and purple hues in this mix!
Enjoy!

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut out cookies and place on parchment lined baking sheet, 1 inch apart.

- GANACHE:
- Bring heavy cream to just a boil, pour over chocolate in a small mixing bowl.

- Lay on parchment lined cookie sheet, sprinkle with sprinkles.
- Repeat with all cookies sandwiches.

Notes
**If your bowl is not deep enough to cover the whole half of the cookie tilt the cookie slightly to the side so the chocolate covers to the middle.
*** I used Wilton 3 inch heart cookie cutter
****If keeping these cookies in a cool place allow to come to room temperature before serving so the ganache is softer.
