Best Orange Sugar Cookie Sandwiches With Chocolate Rum Ganache Recipes

ORANGE CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Pour milk in a saucepan and warm it up over medium heat so it's hot but not boiling. Then remove it from the heat.
• In a mixing bowl put chocolate chips and powdered sugar, and pour over the hot milk.
• Using a whisk or a spatula, mix it together until smooth consistency.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit on a counter for a couple of hours.
• Using a standing mixer, beat room temperature butter with sugar really well, so it becomes fluffy and pale in color.
• Add an egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract and mix until combined and smooth consistency.
• Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) together in a separate bowl, then add to the wet ingredients in two batches. Mix everything until well combined but don't overmix.
• When done, you can lightly knead the dough, making a ball, wrap in a plastic wrap and refrigerate from 1-2 hours to overnight.
• When you roll out the dough it might be a bit sticky. You can use a little bit of flour to prevent it from sticking to a roller or a counter. However, I have a different trick that always helps me. Put the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, then roll over the parchment paper about 1/4-inch thick.
• After you cut out the cookies and put them on the baking sheet, put the sheet with the cookies back in the fridge for 10 minutes to chill.
• Bake the cookies at 350°F for 9-10 minutes until the bottom gets a very light golden color.
• To assemble, scoop a tablespoon of chocolate ganache on a flat side of a cookie and sandwich with the other cookie.

SUGAR SANDWICHES
