I love chocolate sandwich cookies and think it’s the perfect cookie to dip in a glass of cold milk. These chocolate and coffee sandwich cookies are not only fudgy and super rich, but also have coffee cream filling to make it extra decadent. The coffee cream adds the greatest aroma and combines perfectly with the sweetness of the chocolate cookie.

12-16 small sandwich cookies
For the cookies:
100 grams dark chocolate
20 grams butter
1 large egg

Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 180c degrees and line oven tray with baking paper.

- Using 2 spoons or an ice cream scoop create small mounds (about the size of a walnut) and put on the baking paper.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the cookies set at the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool completely and only then remove from baking paper.
- Coffee cream: chop the chocolate and put in a bowl. Add espresso and solvents together in the microwave or over double boiler.
- Stir until the chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.
- Cool the cream in the refrigerator for an hour or two or until set and in spreadable texture.

Notes:
- Keep the cookies in a closed container in the refrigerator up to a week.
