ITALIAN AMERICAN COOKIE SANDWICHES

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips, optional
1/2 cup strawberry, raspberry or other fruit preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the flour and mix just until a dough forms.
  • Fit a pastry bag with a large star tip, and fill the pastry bag with the cookie dough. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets into stars, spacing 1-inch apart. If desired, press about 4 miniature chocolate chips into the center of each star at this point. Bake the cookies until they are pale golden around the edges and on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Cool the cookies for 5 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely.
  • When the cookies have cooled, spoon approximately 1/4 teaspoon of preserves atop the flat side of 1 cookie. Press a second cookie onto the preserves. Repeat with the remaining cookies and preserves. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container at room temperature.)
  • Cook's Notes: Alternately, the cookies can be made into thumbprint cookies. To do so, refrigerate the dough until it is cold, about 2 hours. Roll 2 teaspoons of dough for each cookie into 1-inch-diameter ball. Place the cookies on the baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Make a deep indentation in the center of each cookie by pressing the back of a teaspoon into the cookies. Fill each indentation with 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry or raspberry preserves or chocolate chips, and bake as directed.
  • A chilled chocolate ganache may be used in place of the preserves to fill the indentations in these cookies. To do this, do not fill the indentations before baking the cookies. While the cookies bake, make the ganache by mixing equal parts of warm cream and chocolate until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth, then chill the ganache. Once the cookies have baked and cooled, and the chocolate ganache is cold and firm but still spreadable, spoon or pipe the chilled ganache into the empty indentations on the cookies.

AMARETTO CHIP COOKIES

These are similar to Recipe #161166 but I believe I have change it up enough to warrant a new post. These are a delicious change of pace from plain ol' chocolate chip cookies, and I love to make them as a treat for Christmas gift tins! Good luck staying out of the dough--it tastes even better than the finished product! ETA: I am editing the recipe following Katzen's review--this year I think I have gotten it right :).

Tips:

Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips are good choices. - For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. - Be sure to flatten the cookies before baking so that they spread evenly. - Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. - Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with the amaretto cream cheese frosting. - For a neater appearance, use a piping bag to fill the cookies with the frosting. - If you don't have an amaretto liqueur, you can substitute another flavored liqueur, such as Kahlua or Frangelico. - Amaretto chocolate chip cookie sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
