CHOCOLATE-CHERRY SANDWICH COOKIES
I make these often at Christmastime, but they're a winner for summer parties, too. Chilling the cookies before you dip them into chocolate is important because it firms up the filling. -Amy Sauerwalt, Columbia, Maryland

Steps:
- Soft Chocolate Cookies: ---------------------------------- Preheat oven to 350*F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, silicone baking mats or non stick foil. Using a stand mixer, cream together butter and both sugars. Mix in egg and vanilla and mix until smooth and creamy. Add salt, baking soda and cocoa powder, mix until combined. Add flour and mix until dough comes together. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto cookie sheets. If you don't own a cookie scoop, scoop approximately 1 Tablespoon sized balls onto cookie sheet. You should get about 40 cookies, making a total of 20 sandwiches. Bake for 5-6 minutes. These cookies are dark so you wont be able to "see when they start to darken". Do a test batch (3 cookies) to determine if 5 minutes is long enough or if 6 is needed {each oven will be different}. You'd rather have underdone cookies than overdone hard crunchy cookies - promise! Once done, let cool 2 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Once they are completely cool, you can fill them. ---------------------------------- Cherry Cream Filling: ---------------------------------- In a large mixing bowl beat the butter until smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and mix well. Add cherry juice and mix. Add last 1 cup of powdered sugar and mix well. Add vanilla and beat until combined. With spatula, fold in the cherries and add more powdered sugar or cherry juice as needed to reach desired frosting consistency and flavor. {Should be thick} Place a spoon full of frosting on bottom of 1 cookie. Place bottom of a second cookie on top of frosting to create a sandwich. Do this for all cookies. Eat immediately or store in an air tight container up to 5 days.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. You want to use a chocolate chip that has a rich, decadent flavor.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. You don't want to overbake them, or they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help the filling set and prevent it from making the cookies soggy.
- For a fun twist, try adding different flavors to the filling. You could use raspberry jam, peanut butter, or even Nutella.
Conclusion:
Chocolate cherry sandwich cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a party, a bake sale, or a simple snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious cookie that is sure to please everyone.
