Sandwich Cookies

Here is a simple and delicious recipe for sandwich cookies. Cookies are flourless, chocolate and fudge-like brownie cookies. Filling is made of cream cheese which is not too sweet and just right for your taste-buds. Give it a try.

Ingredients for cookies:

  • 1/3 cup oats flour
  • 2/3 cup almond flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup baking chocolate
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Sea salt to sprinkle on top

Ingredients for filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter

Tips:

  1. Use the eggs at room temperature.
  2. Butter should be soft but not liquid.
  3. Melted chocolate should not be too warm while adding eggs otherwise eggs will be cooked.
  4. After the mixture is ready keep it in refrigerator for 2 hours so that it becomes easy to manage.
  5. Try to keep the size of the dough balls same, using 2 tbsp spoon, so that each of them takes same time to bake.

  7. Cookies should be soft but fudge like brownies.
  8. Sift the icing sugar before making the filling so it comes out of the piping bag flawlessly.
