Ingredients

For the Cookie Batter

175 grams dark chocolate (66%)
30 grams unsalted butter
1 egg
75 grams sugar
18 grams flour
1/5 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Step 1

Melt the Chocolate and Butter

Start by melting the dark chocolate and butter together. You can use a water bath for this, or simply melt them in the microwave.

Make sure to stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Whip the Eggs and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and add the sugar. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, whip them together until the mixture turns white and fluffy. This should take about 8 minutes.

Step 3

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder. Slowly fold this dry mixture into the whipped egg mixture.

Once incorporated, gently add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until everything is well combined.

Step 4

Prepare the Baking Sheet

Transfer your cookie batter into a piping bag for easy handling.

Pipe the batter onto a baking sheet in staggered rows, making sure to form a total of 20 cookie shapes on the sheet.

Step 5

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for approximately 7-8 minutes.

Look out for the top of the cookies to start cracking, which indicates they are ready.

Step 6

Assemble the Sandwich Cookies

Once the cookies are baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Take the dulce de leche and spread it generously over half of the cookies, then sprinkle a little salt on top.

Finally, press another cookie on top to make a delicious sanduich.

Equipment

Mixing Bowls

Having multiple bowls will help keep your ingredients organized. Make sure they are large enough to prevent spills during mixing.

We recommend:
Double Boiler or Microwave Safe Bowl

This is essential for melting your chocolate without burning it. If you're using a microwave, do so in short bursts, stirring in between.

Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are some fantastic variations to try!

For a **gluten-free** option, simply substitute regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend. This minor adjustment keeps the cookies moist and delicious while accommodating dietary restrictions. 🌾❌

If you're looking for a **vegan** treat, swap the egg with a chia seed egg (1 tbsp of chia seeds mixed with 2.5 tbsp of water, let it sit until gel-like). Use vegan chocolate and plant-based butter for a scrumptious result that everyone can enjoy! 🌱✨

    Ensure that your batter is well-mixed, especially after adding the melted chocolate. It all comes down to blending the ingredients correctly!
