Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

Not too long ago, I discovered that oatmeal crème pies have been joined on store shelves by chocolate chip cookie sandwiches and peanut butter cookie sandwiches… lots of yummy looking stuff. However, nothing beats a homemade special treat…

From the HERSHEY’S Chocolate Cookbook, by the Hershey Foods Corporation, 1989

Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

½ cup shortening

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 ½ cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¼ cup milk

 

Crème Filling

Cream shortening, egg, and vanilla in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; add alternately with milk to creamed mixture until ingredients are combined.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for 11 to 12 minutes or just until soft-set (do not overbake). Cool 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheet, cool completely on wire rack. Prepare Crème Filling. Spread bottom of one cookie with about 1 tablespoon filling; cover with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. About 15 filled cookies.

 

Crème Filling

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

2 tablespoons shortening

½ cup marshmallow crème

¾ teaspoon vanilla

2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar

Cream butter and shortening in small mixer bowl, gradually beat in marshmallow crème. Blend in vanilla and confectioners’ sugar; beat to spreading consistency.
