Best 6 Chocolate Cannoli Sandwich Cookies Recipes

DARK CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES WITH MASCARPONE FILLING

Steps:

• Make the cookies: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in the milk and vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Slowly add to the butter mixture while beating on a low speed. Add chocolate chips, if using, and mix until just combined. When evenly mixed, shape the dough into a log about 2 inches thick and roll it in wax paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the cookies into 1/3-inch-thick disks. Don't worry if cookies break apart as you cut them--pieces can be stuck back together and will bake fine. Arrange 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake until set, 10 minutes. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, and then remove to racks to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Set aside half of the chopped pistachios for garnish. Mix the remaining pistachios with the confectioners' sugar, mascarpone cheese, ricotta, vanilla, and salt until just blended; do not overbeat, as the mascarpone will get too thick. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• To assemble, put a scoop of filling on the bottom side of a cookie and top with the bottom side of another cookie, so that there is about 1/4 inch of filling in each sandwich. Coat the filling edges with the reserved pistachios.

CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375 degrees.
• In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix all dry ingredients for the cookies. On low speed, or while pulsing the processor, add the butter, and then the egg.
• Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass. It will be a very stiff, very dry dough; this is what it's supposed to look like.
• Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. With moistened hands, slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. The cookies will look puffy; that's okay. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool and thump them slightly to make the cookies "deflate" (or press them down with the back of a spoon).
• To make the filling, place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl and, at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2-3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
• To assemble the cookies, pipe a blob of cream into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie, equal in size to the first, on top of the cream. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie.
