directions

  • For the cookies:.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with Silpats.
  • In a small bowl, mix baking soda, salt and flour.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixture, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add brown sugar, and beat until lightened and combined, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until incorporated. Add vanilla.
  • Add ingredients to the batter all at once, mixing slowly until just combined. The mixture will look very wet and oily; this is OK.
  • Roll dough into balls about 3/4-1 inch in diameter, and space about 1 1/2 inches apart on each cookie sheet. Bake until lightly golden and dry on top, about 12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • For the ganache:.
  • Meanwhile, make the ganache. Put chopped chocolate into a small, heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat cream until just boiling, then pour over chopped chocolate. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated. Chill until the chocolate mixture reads 70 degrees on a thermometer. This will be the best spreading consistency.
  • To assemble:.
  • Spread about 1 rounded teaspoon of the ganache on the flat side of a cookie with a small offset spatula. Top with a second cookie, flat side on the filling, forming sandwich. Repeat with remaining filling and cookies.
