Yield Makes about 20 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup plain malted-milk powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup creme fraiche
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup plain malted-milk powder
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
6 tablespoons half-and-half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpat nonstick baking mats or parchment paper; set aside. Sift flour, cocoa powder, malt powder, baking soda, and salt together into a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Put sugar and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; cream until pale and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. Mix in creme fraiche. Mix in 3 tablespoons hot water. On low speed, mix in flour mixture.
  • Drop dough onto lined sheets with a 1/2-ounce-capacity ice-cream scoop, about 3 1/2 inches apart (or use a tablespoon; gently shape dough into balls). Bake until tops flatten and cookies are just firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Make filling: Melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Let cool until just warm.
  • Put malt powder and cream cheese in a clean mixing bowl; return to mixer. Mix on medium until completely smooth. Gradually mix in half-and-half, then mix in melted chocolate and the vanilla. Refrigerate until thick, about 30 minutes.
  • Return bowl to mixer; mix on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Assemble cookies: Spread a heaping tablespoon of filling on one cookie with an offset spatula. Press bottom of a second cookie onto filling. Repeat.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I had a bit of trouble getting the cookies to spread in the oven. I think I needed to press them down a bit more before baking.
