Chocolate sandwich cookies with ganache – a recipe for the most delicious chocolate cookies with soft chocolate ganache. These cookies are so good and addictive: moist chocolate cookies sandwiched with a layer of velvety ganache made with both dark and milk chocolate. The cookie dough comes from my recipe for homemade Oreos, and it goes perfectly with this ganache.
Keep the cookies in the fridge if you want a firmer ganache, or at room temperature for a softer one.
My best ganache recipe
I have many different ganache recipes on the blog, but this one is my absolute favourite. It is soft, firm and really delicious. Cream and glucose syrup are heated to just below boiling point, poured over the chocolate in a tall beaker and blended with a stick blender. Then the butter is added and blended to an even, glossy, smooth mixture. The ganache needs 1-2 hours in the fridge to firm up enough to pipe without spreading. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Instructions
Chocolate cookies
Preheat the oven to 175°C (fan).
Put flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and sugar in a food processor and pulse a few times. Dice the butter, add it and blend until the dough is crumbly. Add the egg and blend until the dough comes together. Shape 40 equal balls (mine weighed 12 g each) and place them on two baking trays lined with baking paper, leaving space between them as the dough spreads a little. Press each ball down a little with 2 fingers and bake for about 9-10 minutes. Let them cool on a rack.
Ganache
Heat cream and glucose syrup in a saucepan to just below boiling point. Put the chocolate in a tall beaker for a stick blender. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and blend. Add the diced butter and blend again to an even, glossy, smooth mixture. Pour the ganache into a bowl and cover with cling film. Chill for 1-2 hours until it firms up enough to pipe without spreading.
Spoon the ganache into a piping bag with a round nozzle. Pipe ganache onto half of the cookies and sandwich them together. Chill until serving. Enjoy!
