Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cup large eggs, at room temperature
  • 4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more to roll the dough
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Preparation

Baking Directions:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter at medium speed until soft and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the sugar and beat until fluffy, another 3 minutes.

Add the eggs one by one, beating each into the dough before adding the next; scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Reduce the speed to low and add the flour 1/2 cup at a time, along with the salt, until thoroughly mixed.

  Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate 1/2 hour up to 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter 2 cookie sheets.

Lightly dust your countertop and a rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick.

With a 3-inch round cookie cutter or similar size glass, cut out as many cookies as you can.

  Place them on the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are just golden.

Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool to room temperature.

In a medium 3-quart saucepan over low heat, combine the cream and the chopped chocolate.

Stir constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted.

You may add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar to sweeten the filling a bit more, if desired.

Turn off the heat and let the chocolate filling cool.

When the cookies and filling have cooled, turn half of the cookies flat side up and spread a heaping tablespoon of the chocolate on each cookie, reserving some of the chocolate to make the scribbles.

Top with the remaining half of the cookies, flat side down, sandwiching together lightly.

With a pastry bag, a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off, or a fork, drizzle the reserved chocolate on top of the cookies, making your own scribble designs.

Once the cookies are set, cover and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

I love them cold!
