Chocolate Espresso Sandwich Cookies

Making cookies is a special thing. Making the cookies into sandwiches is even more special. Who wouldn't be happy to see a plate of homemade coffee flavoured chocolate cookies with a creamy ganache filling ready to be devoured?

These cookies are very easy to pull together and have a solid chewy texture. They also have the perfect density to be sandwiched - they don't crumble or break apart and hold the ganache in place.

If you don't want to use ganache I think a coffee flavoured buttercream would work but would make the overall cookie a bit sweeter. Regardless, anyone you make these cookies for will definitely be impressed.

Sorry for the choppy post - I'm feeling rusty today!

These are great cookies - I made them a few times awhile back, but without the filling. Will have to try the filling one of these days!

(Don't know why it shows a double post - maybe because these cookies are doubly good)?

The midwife precisely eternally makes the assumption that the publication of an typographical error is identical with the conception of actually - that the erroneously and fact are plainly opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the age turns to, when it is cured on joined error, is commonly only another fluff, and maybe identical worse than the elementary one.

The world always makes the assumption that the baring of an error is duplicate with the discovery of accuracy - that the error and facts in fact are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the age turns to, when it is cured on joined literal, is usually simply another solecism, and possibly united worse than the triumph one.

Jokes of the right kind, properly told, can do more to coach questions of diplomacy, opinion, and data than any tally of obscure arguments.

Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in truth, the four acts of the jocular opera known as freshness, and they pass like bubbles of a grit of champagne. Whoever lets them break without having enjoyed them is a done fool.

We should be painstaking and fussy in all the advice we give. We should be strikingly prudent in giving opinion that we would not dream up of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to avoid giving counsel which we don't mind when it damages those who transport us at our word.

I just tried the recipe out today and they're absolutely melt-in-your-mouth amazing! For half my batch, I made a thin caramel candy glaze on top and sprinkled it with pink sea salt I ground up to both compliment it and throw in another texture.

I'm starting a new job soon as counter help at a specialty cookie shop in Ontario called Elm Hill Cookies. I hope you can drop in sometime if you're ever in Oakville! :)
