Firstly, as bakers it is important we have some basic recipes that we can totally rely on. Therefore, some of the very basic recipes we require are a vanilla cake recipe, chocolate cake recipe, vanilla biscuit recipe, and a chocolate biscuit recipe. With these on our list, it’s easy to get creative.
Therefore, I’m sharing with you a chocolate cookie/biscuit recipe that can even be used with royal icing, eaten plain or simply sandwiched with a filling just like I did. I’m in love with these cookies. Additionally, they are so easy to make and turn out perfect each time I bake them. Also, with this recipe I have no fear of the biscuits spreading or getting flat after baking
ABOUT THE FILLING FOR THE SANDWICH COOKIES
Above all, the filling is a simple coffee ganache which is creamy & rich with a mild coffee flavor added to it. Further, when the biscuit and filling come together, every bite is magical
Chocolate & Coffee Cookie Sandwiches
LET’S TALK INGREDIENTS FOR THE BEST EVER SANDWICH COOKIE RECIPE
Cold Butter
Firstly, the secret to most cookie recipes is the butter consistency. For this one, it has to be cold. I like to use salted butter cut into chunks and then combine it with other ingredients
Castor Sugar
Next, the reason I use castor is that its superfine sugar. We do not follow any creaming method for this recipe where the sugar melts while getting combined with other ingredients, therefore, to avoid the granular feel of the sugar in every bite you need to use superfine sugar
Cornflour
Similarly, cornflour helps in making these cookies even crisp so no skipping this one
All-purpose flour
So, have you noticed the recipe does not have a fixed amount of flour? Which means while working on the dough you need to add flour as required. When the dough feels non-sticky and more like the consistency of pie dough you stop adding the flour. However, this also depends on the consistency of the butter you use or simply based on how humid the weather is
