Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 sandwiches

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  2. 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  4. 2 large eggs
  5. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  6. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 1 cup cocoa powder
  8. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  9. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  10. 1 cup chopped walnuts
  11. 1 cup chocolate chips
  12. Filling of choice (e.g., buttercream or ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts and chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are set and centers look slightly soft. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
  9. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cookies are fully cooled, prepare your chosen filling (buttercream or ganache).
  11. Spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie, pressing gently.
  12. Optional: Dust the tops of the sandwich cookies with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra decoration.
  13. Store completed Double Chocolate Walnut Sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips

  1. Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the smoothest, most well-incorporated batter.
  2. Don't Overmix: Mix your dry and wet ingredients just until combined to keep the cookies tender and soft.
  3. Consistent Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create uniform cookies that will sandwich perfectly.
  4. Cool Completely: Allow cookies to cool entirely before adding the filling to prevent melting and ensure a clean, neat sandwich.
  5. Filling Variations: Experiment with different fillings like ganache, buttercream, or even a raspberry jam for unique flavor combinations.
  6. Storage Hack: Place a piece of bread in the storage container to help keep the cookies soft and fresh.
  7. Make Ahead: You can prepare the cookie dough in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking for even more developed flavors.
  8. Decorative Touch: For a professional look, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate just before serving.
