Lacy Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup rolled oats (regular oatmeal) finely chopped, but not ground to a powder, in the food processor
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange juice, strained
- 6 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled, for sandwiching the cookies
- 3 or 4 sheets or jelly roll pans covered with buttered foil
- Set the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
- Pour the melted butter into a bowl; 1 at a time, stir in the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate, stirring smooth after each addition.
- Use a 1/2-teaspoon measure to drop the batter on the prepared pans.
- Space the cookies about 3 inches apart in all directions, to allow room for them to spread.
- Bake the cookies for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until they have spread and are brown around the edges and lighter toward the center.
- Slide the paper or foil onto racks to cool the cookies.
- When the cookies are completely cool, peel them off the foil and arrange half of them bottom side up on a pan.
- Use a small offset spatula to spread about 1/2 teaspoon of chocolate on each inverted cookie.
- Top with another cookie, bottom to bottom.
- Store the finished cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover.
