How to Make Vanilla Cream Sandwich Cookies
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
Combine flour, cocoa, and salt in a bowl and set aside for later use.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
In another bowl, cream together 6 tablespoons of butter and sugar by beating at medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring. Continue beating and scrape the bowl frequently until well mixed. Next, add the melted chocolate and beat until smooth. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat at low speed until the dough comes together.
Step 3: Chill the Dough
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
Step 4: Preheat the Oven
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
Step 5: Roll and Cut the Dough
Dear Lykkers! On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough one-half at a time, keeping the remaining dough refrigerated. Roll to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until just set. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 6: Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine all the filling ingredients and beat at low speed until well mixed. Increase the speed to high and continue beating until the filling becomes light and creamy.
Step 7: Assemble the Sandwich Cookies
Take one cookie and spread about 1 teaspoon of filling on its bottom side. Top with another cookie, bottom-side down, to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Step 8: Prepare the Glaze
Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl and set aside. Heat the whipping cream in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-low heat just until it begins to boil. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and stir in the corn syrup until the mixture becomes smooth. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or until the glaze thickens.
Step 9: Glaze the Cookies
Drizzle or spread the glaze over the top of each sandwich cookie. Place the cookies on waxed paper and allow them to stand for 1 hour, or until the glaze has set.
Step 10: Storage
Store the cookies between sheets of waxed paper in a container with a tight-fitting lid to maintain freshness.
These Vanilla Cream Sandwich Cookies are a decadent treat that combines the best of chocolate and vanilla flavors. With a rich chocolate cookie, smooth vanilla filling, and glossy glaze, these cookies are sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy them fresh or share them with friends and family for a sweet indulgence.
