Alright, so I decided to tackle these vanilla and chocolate sandwich cookies. I’ve seen them around, they look fancy, but I figured, “How hard could it be?” Turns out, it’s a bit of a process, but totally doable, and so worth it.
Getting Started
First, I gathered all my ingredients. I’m a big believer in having everything measured out beforehand. Makes life way easier. This recipe needs stuff for both the vanilla and the chocolate cookies, plus the filling. It’s a bit of a list, so don’t be intimidated!
Making the Dough
I started with the vanilla dough. It’s your basic cookie dough – butter, sugar, flour, the usual suspects. I creamed the butter and sugar together until it was all fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Super important: don’t overmix it! Once the flour was in, I just mixed until it was combined.
Then I did the same thing for the chocolate dough, except, you know, with cocoa powder. Again, easy peasy, just don’t overmix.
Chilling and Rolling
Here’s where patience comes in. Both doughs needed to chill. I wrapped them up tight in plastic wrap and stuck them in the fridge. The longer the better really. The dough’s will be easier to work with.
Once they were good and cold, I rolled them out. I aimed for about 1/4 inch thick, but honestly, I just eyeballed it. Then, I used some cookie cutters(I chose simple circle ones) and cut out my shapes.
Baking Time
Into the oven they went! I baked them at 350°F . Keep an eye on them, you want them to just be starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
The Filling
- While the cookies were cooling,I amde a filling.
- The filling process is very simple.I mixed all ingredients together.
- If the filling is too thick, add some milk.
Assembly!
Finally, the fun part! Once the cookies were completely cool, I spread a generous amount of filling onto one cookie and sandwiched it with another. Vanilla on vanilla, chocolate on chocolate, and of course, vanilla on chocolate!
And that’s it! They’re a bit of work, but the end result is these adorable, delicious little sandwich cookies. Perfect with a glass of milk, or, you know, just by themselves. Go ahead, give it a try – you might surprise yourself!
