Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
- ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 6 tablespoons Dutch cocoa powder
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons honey
Filling
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut oil
Directions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together pastry flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the vanilla, coconut oil, milk, and honey until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Place the dough on a large piece of plastic wrap, then form into a flat disc.
- Wrap the disk, then chill for 20 minutes.
- While dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Flour a clean counter space, then place the dough on it.
- Roll out the dough until it’s about ¼-inch thick, then cut small circles out.
- Place the circles on a greased cookie sheet.
- Repeat with scrap dough.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool on the pan for 10 minutes. (This allows the cookies to harden up a bit.)
- While cookies are cooling, make the cream filling.
- Blend together all the ingredients for the filling until smooth.
- Place about two teaspoons of the cookie filling on top of one of the chocolate cookies, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
- Keep in an airtight container. (I like to freeze mine!)
