Nutty Butter Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

The gooey cocoa goodness of our Chocolate Schmear® inspired these sandwich cookies. Our version of an ever popular peanut butter cookie recipe is but one of the many cookies that could be sandwiched with the Schmear. Chocolate chip, vanilla wafer, sugar, cinnamon or even oatmeal cookies get a lift from a yummy-layer of this intense all-natural filling. When the cookies are stored n an airtight container, the Chocolate Schmear® center stays moist.

Notes

Several pointers for making perfect sandwich cookies. Save time and make uniformly-sized cookies by portioning the dough with a scoop. A small ice cream scoop works or buy a “cookie dough scoop,” a small investment for the usefulness of this tool. Space the cookies evenly on the baking sheet. If you bake a large number of cookies at one time, switch the shelves on which the cookies are baking half way though. This ensures even browning if your oven is inconsistent.
