DARK CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES WITH MASCARPONE FILLING



Dark Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Mascarpone Filling image

Barry is rarely content with one simple element in his desserts. Working on this recipe to cap an Italian menu, it was not enough just to serve deeply decadent, dark chocolate cookies. Inspired by cannoli, he decided upon a sandwich cookie filled with ricotta and sweet, soft Italian mascarpone cheese, vanilla, and roasted pistachios.

Time 3h20m

Yield Makes about 20 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch processed)
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, optional
1 1/2 cups chopped, roasted, shelled, unsalted pistachios
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
3/4 cup ricotta
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon table salt

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.

Yield Makes 36 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 3

Sugar Cookie Dough
6 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Cut dough in half; roll out both halves to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out cookies with a round 1-inch cookie cutter, rerolling scraps to get 72 cookies. Coat 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray; place cookies on sheets 1 inch apart and bake 1 batch at a time until firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Simmer chocolate chips and half-and-half in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring once or twice, until chocolate melts and is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat. Let cool 1 minute. Spread 1/2 teaspoon chocolate ganache on a cookie; press a second cookie on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and ganache.

Time 19m

Yield 30 sandwich cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 -1 1/2 cup sugar
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your sandwich cookies, make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use a high-quality dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao.
  • If you don't have mascarpone cheese on hand, you can substitute it with a mixture of cream cheese and heavy cream. Just beat together equal parts of each ingredient until smooth.
  • To make the cookies extra special, decorate them with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a sprinkle of your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, candy sprinkles, or sea salt.
