Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookie Sandwiches
- 1 cup softened butter
- 34 cup granulated sugar
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 1 12 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts (or pecans, chocolate chips, etc.)
- 10 ounces semisweet baking chocolate
- 34 cup seedless raspberry jam (Preferably a brand without corn syrup)
- 12 cup chocolate sprinkles
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Cream together butter, sugar, and salt.
- Mix in vanilla extract, then flour.
- If using chocolate nuts, or other, mix these in next.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape cookie dough into flat discs, arrange 2" apart on baking sheet, then bake 12 minute
- Optional: If not using chocolate chips, nuts, or other fillings, edges may be kinda flat and bubbly.
- They can be trimmed with a cookie cutter about 15 minutes after being removed from the oven.
- (At this point, they should be cool enough to work with, and still soft enough not to crumble apart.
- ).
- When all cookies are baked and cooled, prepare a cold baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place chocolate in a double boiler, and set to melt on low.
- Stir occasionally.
- You can start out with 4 oz, and add more as needed.
- While chocolate is melting, use a small spatula or butter knife to smear a thin layer of jam on the bottom of a cookie.
- Place the bottom of another cookie over the layer of jam, and press the two cookies together.
- Lay the double cookie on the baking sheet, then repeat this process to assemble the rest.
- Once all the double cookies are assembled, dip each pair in melted chocolate.
- Lay each dipped cookie back on the baking sheet, and immediately pour sprinkles over the melted chocolate before picking up the next cookie.
- When all cookies have been assembled, leave in the refrigerator or freezer about one hour 1 to harden the chocolate coating.
