Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 vanilla bean
1 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup raspberry jam or 1/2 cup chocolate ganache
3 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup heavy cream

Directions:

For vanilla sugar, split vanilla bean; scrape out seeds.
In small bowl, whisk vanilla bean, seeds and sugar.
Cover and let stand overnight.
Cookies: In large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until creamy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in sugar until light and fluffy.
On low speed, beat in flour just until blended.
Shape dough into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls; place on a large rimmed baking sheet and freeze 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Place balls on prepared sheets, 1 inch apart.
Bake 10-12 minutes, or just until firm (do not brown).
Cool completely on pans on wire racks.
Spread flat side of half of cookies with jam or chocolate ganache; top with remaining cookies to form sandwiches.
Roll cookies in vanilla sugar to coat.
For Chocolate Ganache: Put 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped, in a bowl.
In saucepan, heat 1/3 cup heavy cream over medium-high heat just until small bubbles appear around edge of pan.
Pour cream over chocolate; whisk until smooth.
Cool at least 20 minutes, whisking occassionally, or until thickened.
This chocolate ganache recipe makes about 1/2 cup.
