These chocolate ganache sandwich cookies are super cute, super tiny, and super delicious. A crisp sable cookie stuffed with a silky chocolate ganache makes cookies the perfect light dessert.
You might remember these cookies from last year. They were one of my first posts but they are back with an update! I have always loved any kind of sandwich cookies. They are always a super cute and fun dessert. This is why people love ice cream sandwiches, oreos, and yes these cookies too!
When in quarantine, you probably have some extra time on your hand. These cookies are cute and they can take quite a bit of time to make if you choose to do so. If you are trying to kill some time you could even roll the edges of the ganache filling with sprinkles similar to these ice cream sandwiches.
Sucree Cookie Dough 101
Sucree is a french cookie dough that is usually used for tart shells and crisp cookies. This dough one of the most forgiving french tart doughs that can be used, but you want to make sure that you do not over mix the dough. The less time that you spend mixing the flour into the dough the better. As the flour mixes into the dough, the gluten structure continues to develop. The less that the dough mixes the flakier and crisper the cookies will be.
