These chocolate sandwich cookies are similar to homemade Oreo cookies. Eat them as is, or make the frosting filling for a great snack.
Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Well, a good tart needs a good crust. Some of the easiest ones generally use graham crackers or cookie crusts. You can go the easy route, I won’t judge (much), or you can make your own cookies to make the crust. And that’s just what I did with this recipe.
This recipe makes more than enough to enjoy some sandwich cookies for a midday snack (or breakfast) and make your tart crust.
The filling is a simple buttercream filling. Which I like because it was quick and easy to make with minimal effort. Save a few cookies. I kept 8 off to the side that I did not fill. These cookies are going to get pulverized to make my cookie crust for my tart on Friday.
This recipe is part two of a three-part series, including homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread and a Chocolate Hazelnut Tart.
Ingredients
for the Cookies
- 3 cups flour
- ¾ cup dark cocoa
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
for the Filling
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 Tbls vanilla
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir them together.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, then the vanilla and beat until combined. Finally add in the dry ingredients.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, measure out the cookies onto a sheet lined with either parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- Put a small amount of sugar into a bowl, press the bottom of a glass into the sugar and slightly flatten the cookie.
- Bake at 350℉ for 15 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm, but soft in the middle. Press more sugar into the top of the cookie flattening it a bit more with a glass.
- Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Combine all ingredients for the filling in a mixer on medium speed. Sandwich the filling and cookies and enjoy.
