FUDGY MACADAMIA NUT SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Cookie:Preheat oven to 350. Blend together the dry ingredients and set aside. Beat the sugar, butter and vanilla together with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and mix well. Add the flour mixture and mix just till blended well-do not overmix. Blend in the chopped nuts by hand. Using your hands or a small disher, make 1 inch balls of dough. Roll them in sugar and place on parchment lined baking sheets. Flatten the tops, using your hands or the bottom of a glass. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove to rack and cool thoroughly before filling. For filling: In a 1 qt saucepan, mix cream, corn syrup, chocolate, and salt together. Bring to a boil over medium heat until chocolate is melted. Continue to cook over reduced heat x 5minutes. Remove from heat and stir in liquer and butter. When filling is warm and thickening, dip bottom of one cooled cookie into filling and top it with the bottom of a second cookie. Allow to set, then stripe the top with filling (rewarming if necessary), drizzling from a spoon or using a squeeze bottle.
