Notes
To ensure your chocolate sandwich cookies are perfectly uniform, roll the dough evenly and use a cookie cutter of the same size for all cookies. When spreading the chocolate filling, allow it to cool slightly so it thickens and doesn't run off the cookies. Enjoy your homemade treat with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee for an extra delightful experience.
