Get ready to delight in these simple yet spectacular peanut butter ganache cookie sandwiches that are perfect for holiday indulgence. With only six ingredients, you can whip up 10 scrumptious sandwiches in no time. The cookies are equally delicious on their own, so feel free to enjoy them as standalone treats as well!
Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 200 grams (1 cup) brown sugar
- 270 grams (1 1/8 cup) creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 7.5 ml (1 1/2 tsp) vanilla extract
For the Ganache:
- 175 grams (1 cup) chocolate chips or 8oz chocolate, finely chopped
- 158 ml (2/3 cup) heavy cream
Directions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- To create the ganache, gently heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer with small bubbles around the edge. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a bowl. Stir until smooth and silky. Allow it to cool while you prepare the cookies.
- For the cookies, blend together the brown sugar, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until the mixture is uniform. With a spoon, scoop out portions of about a half tablespoon each onto a cookie sheet. Flatten each one slightly with a fork to create a pattern.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they're just set and slightly golden around the edges.
- After baking, let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, transfer the ganache into a piping bag.
- Pipe a generous amount of ganache onto the bottom of one cookie, then gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.
These Peanut Butter Ganache Cookie Sandwiches are a dream come true for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. They're an excellent choice for holiday baking, gifts, or simply as a treat to brighten any day. Enjoy your delectable creations!
