Calories: 106kcal
- ½ cup granulated sugar (110g)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature (4oz or 113g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (66g)
- ⅔ cup quick or instant oats (66g) you should have ½ cup oat flour after processing
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon (heaping) table salt
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate
To prepare the cookie dough:
In a medium bowl combine the sugar and butter. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until lightened and fluffy. Add the vanilla and milk and blend on low until incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl combine the AP flour, oat flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and blend on low until all flour is incorporated.
Scoop out one teaspoon of cookie dough. Use a small spatula to scrape the dough out of the teaspoon and drop onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until the pan is full and all dough mounds are 3-inches apart.
Roll each dough mound in the palm of your hands to form a ball. Place the dough ball back on the baking sheet at least 3-inches apart. The cookies will spread a lot while baking.
Bake the cookies for 10 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to rest for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
Once cooled match up similar size cookies to make a sandwich before filling.
To prepare the chocolate filling:
Chop the chocolate into fine shards. In a small glass bowl microwave three-quarters of the chocolate at 50% power until melted.
Add the remaining chocolate and stir until completely melted. If needed return the chocolate to the microwave for 5 seconds at a time to complete the melting.
Spread a thick layer of chocolate on the flat side (bottom) of one cookie. Top with another similar sized cookie, flat side down, to make a sandwich. Gently press the cookies together until the chocolate oozes to the outer edge.
Allow the chocolate to completely set before storing. You can also refrigerate the cookies for 15 minutes or so to speed the process along.
- Store at room temperature for up to 5 days. Refrigerate for longer storage.
- The cookies can be frozen with or without the chocolate filling for up to 2 months.
