Praise everything good and living, it’s cookie baking season! I can hardly contain my excitement. Before Thanksgiving, I took my daughter to the kitchen shop and let her pick out new holiday cookie cutters and jars of festive sprinkles (she wanted all the jars!). At this point in her life, she’s only ever used cookie cutters to cut out felt shapes for a felt play mat. Little does she know that cookie cutters produce much, much more delicious things!
I’ll give you some time to sort out your cookie decorating drawers in your own house (and shop for new sprinkles and such), and instead share a recipe with you today for perfect chocolate drop cookies. This dough is my favorite for so many reasons.
Why I love these chocolate sandwich cookies:
This recipe makes ten cookies, or five cookie sandwiches. Scale it up if you need to, or wrap them in plastic wrap and hide them in the freezer for your next chocolate cookie emergency. I really love these cookies after a deep freeze, because they stay soft! I let them rest on the counter for about 15 minutes to soften them slightly. These chocolate sandwich cookies don’t require any chill time, and bake up into soft, chewy chocolate cookies. You don’t need to sandwich them with buttercream, but if you do, they’re so delicious! These cookies are loosely based on my recipe for chocolate sugar cookies. That recipe has frosting on top, but this one has it squished between the two cookies. You have delicious choices ahead!
