How to make it

  • Bake in 350 F (180 C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes or just until lightly golden. Let cool completely on baking sheets on rack.
  • Meanwhile, in top of double boiler over hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate. Spread over underside of one of the cookies; sandwich with another cookie.
  • Repeat with remaining cookies.
  • Makes 4 dozen cookies.
