  • Decorate with colored sugar, etc.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Refrigerate Cookies on the sheet for 20 minutes, this will help them hold their shape.
  • Bake cookies one pan at a time for 8-10 minutes (until very lightly browned), rotate pan halfway through the baking to promote even cooking.
  • Allow to sit on sheet for 3-4 minutes, remove with an angled spatula to a rack.

  • FILLING----------------------.
  • Melt 3/4 of the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water (160 degrees or so) (bowl must not touch water).
  • When chocolate starts to melt remove from heat and stir until smooth, add remaining chocolate and stir until smooth.
  • Let the chocolate sit until it's no longer warm to the touch and SLOWLY beat in the butter.
  • Do not over beat this mixture.
  • Place the mixture in a freezer bag (corner cut off) or pastry bag and pipe it on to the bottom of 1/2 of the cookies.
  • Cover with second half to form a sandwich.
  • Do about 10 at a time as the chocolate mixture will start to set up.
  • Let cookies set for 2 hours for filling to set 100%.
  • Store covered in an airtight container for about a month.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
