this is a cookie that would be great at Valentines Day ...who am I kidding..LOL ..they are good anytime!! the recipe and photo are From Holiday Cookies 2005 Ingredients:
• for the cookies |
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface |
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt |
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened |
• 3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar |
• 1 large egg |
• for the filling |
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened |
• 2/3 cup sifted confectioners' sugar |
• pinch of coarse salt |
• 2 tablespoons chestnut cream (creme de marron) |
• for the glaze |
• 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Make cookies: Sift together flour and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Put butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar; mix until smooth. Mix in egg. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds. Using a spatula, transfer rounds to baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 1 inch apart.
3. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks using a spatula; let cool completely.

8. Assemble cookies: Spread filling on bottom of half the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. Dip sandwiches a third of the way into the warm glaze; transfer to wire racks set over baking sheets. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Cookies can be refrigerated in a single layer in airtight containers up to 2 days.
