Ingredients

For cookies:

For filling:

For coating:

  • 2-1/2 cups white chocolate candy coating
  • 1/2 cup colored candy coating optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • In a large bowl with a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter until fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined. 
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  • Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the dough and mix until just combined.
  • Using your hand knead the dough into a ball.
  • Sprinkle flour over your counter or workspace and add the dough to the floured surface and sprinkle the top of the dough with a dusting of flour.
  • Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough until it is 1/4 inch thick.
  • Using a small round cookie cutter, cut out an even number of cookies. I got about 44 cookies.
  • Place cookies on baking trays and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Add to the oven and bake for 15 - 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden. 
  • Once fully cooked remove them from the oven and let them cool before you begin adding the chocolate.
  • Add the chocolate and the butter to a small bowl and melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals until creamy and melted.
  • With a spatula or spoon, spread some chocolate on top of a cookie and place
    another one on top, like a cookie sandwich.
  • Place the cookies on a baking tray and let them seal.
  • In a small bowl, add the white chocolate candy coating and melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals until completely melted.
  • Optional, melt the colored candy coating in 20-second intervals until completely melted and add to a small piping bag.
  • Once the cookies are ready, dip them into the white chocolate and let them dry.
  • Using your served colored candy coating drizzle over your cookies.
  • Optionally, add sprinkles if you like, but if you do make sure to do it immediately once you add the chocolate if not they will not stick.
