These biscuits are extremely soft and easy to whip up. A rich chocolate ganache is sandwiched between two vanilla biscuits, creating a perfect treat!
The below recipe will make around 24 cookie sandwiches.
Ingredients
Vanilla Butter Biscuit
230gr butter, softened
175gr caster sugar
260gr flour
1/2 tspn vanilla paste (or 1 tspn vanilla essence)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Chocolate Ganache
150ml cream
150gr dark chocolate
40gr cocoa powder
Method
1. Making the vanilla butter biscuits. In a large bowl, whisk the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla paste, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda, whisking until combined.
2. Add the flour a few tablespoons at a time, whisking until the dough allows you to do so. Switch to kneading the dough when it becomes difficult to whisk.
3. Knead the dough until you form a soft, smooth bowl. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
4. Chocolate ganache. Chop the dark chocolate finely. Microwave the cream until hot, and add in the dark chocolate. Set aside for 5 minutes and then stir until the chocolate has melted and the ganache is glossy. Add the cocoa powder and set aside to set.
5. Making the biscuits. Preheat your oven to 150 degrees celsius. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Roll out the dough until around 3-5mm thick. Due to the large amount of butter and sugar in this dough, it is normal for it to not roll out entirely smoothly.
6. Cut out circles using a 3 inch round biscuit cutter. Set on the lined baking paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just about golden. Allow to cool slightly before transferring onto a plate, as they will remain ever so slightly soft in the centre.
7. Once the biscuits have cooled down entirely, dollop around a tablespoon's worth of ganache on one biscuit half, and place another on top, applying some pressure for the ganache to spread to the edges. If the ganache has set too hard to scoop, microwave for 5 seconds, and whip on high.
8. Enjoy!
