Sandwich Cookies are loved by all. With crunchy cookies and a rich chocolate layer in between, these chocolaty sandwich cookies are truly a chocolate lovers dream. The cookies are crisp yet almost melt in the mouth. The chocolate filling is creamy and nice and lingers on your mouth for a while… truly yumm ?
After a series of healthy bakes (Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies, Healthy Whole Wheat cookies and Oats Rasin Cookies) I just felt like indulging with chocolate a bit. ? Also my little toddler has suddenly taken a liking to chocolate biscuits. I am not too happy giving her store brought stuff with loads of preservatives. Hence I decided to make these sandwich cookies. Baking them was fun as was seeing my little toddler pounce on them. In fact I don’t know which was more a beautiful sight- watching her bite into the cookie with her newly arrived set of teeth or she digging her tiny fingers into the cream layer ?
Below is the the step by step recipe with pictures for making sandwich cookies.
Ingredients:
All purpose flour (Maida) : 1/2 cup + 1-2 tsp
Unsalted Butter (softened) : 1/2 cup
Icing sugar : 1/4th cup (heaped cup)
Cocoa Powder : 2 tbsp
Plain chocolate : 125 gms (chopped)
Fresh cream : 3 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
- Add butter and icing sugar to a bowl and beat till its light and fluffy.
- Add 1/2 cup flour and cocoa powder and mix to form a dough. At this step if you feel the dough is too soft and you wont be able to roll it out, you can add 1-2 tsp of all purpose flour to make it into a dough.
- Using a butter paper or a clean polythene, roll this dough till it is around 3-4 mm.
- Cut out circular cookies using a circular cookie cutter. Place on a greased baking tray. Bake the cookies at 160 deg Celcius (preheated) for 10-12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven once the cookie top is firm to touch. Once baked, remove from oven and cool on a wired rack.
- For making the filling, add the chopped chocolate and cream to a pan. Place the pan on low heat and keep stirring till the chocolate is completely melted. At this point this chocolate cream mixture will look of dropping consistency. Remove from flame and place in refrigerator for 30-45 min. Basically the chocolate cream mixture should become firm.
- Take one cookie and apply a spoonful of cream on it. Place another cookie over it and complete the cookie cream sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.

My search ends with your blog….just one doubt…with cream for how long we can keep these cookies outside…. Or should be in the fridge
Thanks for your comment Deeksha.
I had made a small batch and they got over pretty soon. I think keeping outside for 4-5 days should be fine. If you wish to store for a longer time, you may need to keep it in the fridge. The next time I bake these cookies, I shall check how long they can be kept outside and update you. ?
