Milk Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

I asked for help from my daughter to hunt down a good recipe to share this week. She said she absolutely loved the cookie sandwiches I made a few months back… and we sat and looked until we found another version of them! These are extra chocolatey… Enjoy!

Milk Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

Favorite Recipes, a compilation from recipes submitted to the La Salle County Fair Association, 2005, As entered by Marcy Gruy

3/4 c. all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp. baking powder

1/8 tsp. salt

(6oz.) milk chocolate

3 T. butter, softened

1/2 c. sugar

1 egg

3/4 tsp. vanilla

 

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a small heavy saucepan heat the chocolate over low heat until melted, stirring constantly. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in sugar until fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate, egg, and vanilla until combined. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Divide dough into four equal portions. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Chill in freezer for 20-30 minutes or until firm enough to handle. (Or chill in refrigerator for one hour.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Removing one portion of dough from freezer at a time, roll each portion into a 5 inch long roll. Cut each roll crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until edges are set. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Gently remove from sheets (cookies will be brittle) and transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

 

Frosting

3 oz. chopped milk chocolate

2 T. butter

1/4 c. sour cream

1 – 1 1/4 c. powdered sugar

In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Cool for 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Gradually stir in powdered sugar until spreadable. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of frosting on half of the cookies, and top with remaining cookies.
