Ingredients
  

  • COOKIE:
  • 2 1/3 + 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips melted
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • GANACHE:
  • 15 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • GARNISH optional:
  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate melted
  • Sprinkles of choice

Instructions
 

  • COOKIE:
  • Put flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl and mix to combine.
  • In bowl of mixer cream the butter until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the sugar and mix until pale yellow.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla, mix until combined.
  • With mixer on medium slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate, continue mixing until fully combined.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • With mixer on low speed slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until well combined and dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface and form into a bowl and flatten into a disk.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.
  • When ready to roll out place dough between two pieces of parchment and roll out to 1/4 inch thick.
  • Transfer dough to refrigerator and chill for 60 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut out cookies and place on parchment lined baking sheet, 1 inch apart.
  • Transfer to refrigerator for 15 minutes to stiffen up the dough.
  • Bake until cookies are slightly firm to the touch. About 10 minutes.
  • Let cook completely.
  • GANACHE:
  • Bring heavy cream to just a boil, pour over chocolate in a small mixing bowl.
  • Let set for 60 seconds, start stirring in small circular motions until chocolate starts to melt.
  • Stir in larger circles to fully mix the chocolate and heavy cream until ganache forms. *
  • Let cool slightly.
  • ASSEMBLY:
  • Layout your cookie pairs (tops and bottoms).
  • On the bottom cookie spoon on ganache leaving a 1/4 inch edge around the cookie.
  • Place the top cookie on and press slightly together.
  • Repeat with all the cookies.
  • Let set until ganache is fully set, 3 hours minimum.
  • GARNISH (optional):
  • Have your cookies in front of you.
  • Dip one side of cookie into melted chocolate**
  • Lay on parchment lined cookie sheet, sprinkle with sprinkles.
  • Repeat with all cookies sandwiches.
  • Let set completely.

Notes

*If you notice ganache is not fully forming because chocolate is not melting you can microwave mixture for 30 seconds and continue stirring. Repeat if necessary.
**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.
