Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Mini Cookie Sandwiches

Ghirardelli Chocolate

Put on your pastry chef hat and get to work on these truly impressive sandwich cookies--and your June Oven will lend a hand! This recipe uses a double dose of Ghirardelli Chocolate to pack each bite with its signature intense flavor, with Ghirardelli’s Unsweetened Cocoa powder lending deep, sultry chocolate notes to the cookie while Ghirardelli’s 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips amp up the silky chocolate buttercream filling. This recipe is best suited for those with a bit of baking experience as well as ambitious amateurs. To break up the steps a little, you can make the dough up to 1 day ahead and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to roll it out.
