Triple Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Triple Chocolate Sandwich Cookies - rich and indulgent brownie-like cookies with chocolate ganache sandwiched in between - you will absolutely love these!
Well hey there. Back for more Valentine's Da treats, I see. I promised another Valentine's Day dessert today and this one will definitely not disappoint. It has chocolate on chocolate on chocolate. Bring. It. On.
Triple Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
I figured I owed you a solid chocolate recipe since I've been lacking in the chocolate recipe department lately. I'm 100% certain these cookies will make up for it. They start with a rich and almost brownie-like chocolate cookie, which I made smaller than a typical cookie since they are sandwich cookies, and are made with two kinds of chocolate: semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder. And THENNNNN I get all dark chocolate on you with the chocolate ganache filling. Like I said, there is no shortage of chocolate in these cookies.
Since I made these while Marc was out of town, I had to do everything I could to get rid of these cookies because they were just too dangerous to have in the house all by myself. As rich as they are, my chocolate love knows no limit, and sometimes I have a hard time saying no. So I dished some out to friends, invited a neighbor over to take some off my hands, and brought the rest to work. Luckily, I had zero problem finding people who were willing to indulge in a little (okay, a lot) chocolate.
I also stashed a couple in the freezer for those times emergencies when you just NEED chocolate...you know what I'm talking about. These really are the ultimate chocolate sandwich cookie. What more could you ask for this Valentine's Day?

These look amazing. I'm like you and need to get the desserts out of the house. I have no will power around them. The freezer is a great idea. Why did I never think of this? Pinned. 😉

I'm always looking for ways to get rid of cookies just so I won't eat them all. These look ridiculous. I would have a heck of a time maintaining the strength not to consume the entire batch. Pinned.
Glad I'm not the only one with self control issues 😉 Thanks Jennie!
