One of the first batches of cookies I baked was Chocolate Sandwich Cookies. The dough is very easy to work with chocolate dough, made with cocoa. Dorie had some great hints about rolling out the dough but since I haven't bought spacers yet, I just rolled it out as evenly as possible, stuck it in the freezer and cut the rounds when I was ready to bake.
They baked up perfectly--I was surprised at how well they held their shape.
The filling is simple, spreads well, tasted great and was just the right amount.
I took these to a potluck pig roast and they were much enjoyed by all. One woman asked about them before she tried them and took just one. Soon she was back for another ...and another ...and another! I think I'll be making these again and I look forward to "playing around" with them.
We're off to a good start with Dorie's Cookies! Check here to see what the Tuesdays with Dorie bakers baked this week.

Your cookies look perfect! Glad to hear they were a hit.
ReplyDeleteThese were very easy to eat! If I hadn't committed to doing paleo 5 days a week, I would have eaten many more than the two I *did* have!
ReplyDeleteThe dough really was easy to work with! I was also surprised to see how well they cookies kept their shape after baking!
ReplyDeleteThe dough was great. I have some extra in the fridge that I would like to play around with. So excited to be baking with Dorie again!
ReplyDeleteLove your tower of cookies. Excited to try all the new cookie recipes.
ReplyDeleteGlad that all your friends enjoyed them. I thought they were fun to make.
ReplyDeleteYou make it sound easy enough...although I don't know what spacers are, I guess I will learn when I make these next. Love the thought of those at a pig roast potluck...I miss those from growing up in NE Iowa...haven't been to one in years and years. Thanks for bringing forth the good memories of good times. xo
ReplyDeleteThat's the best feedback of all - when someone comes back for more! This was a beautiful dough to work with, wasn't it? Yours turned out really well.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I liked working with the dough as well.
ReplyDelete"Easy to eat three at a time" LOL! I cannot wait to make these!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look great. I'm looking forward to making these although with some worries about my rolling skills.
