Fudgy Dark Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches with Raspberry Buttercream for Two

February 11, 2015 by Faith 22 Comments

Small-Batch Fudgy Dark Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches with Raspberry Buttercream

Dessert isn’t an everyday thing in my house, but when I make it, I think it should be special. Valentine’s dessert in particular, because for some reason it just goes hand-in-hand with the whole idea of romance.

But coming up with the right treat can be tricky. On Valentine’s Day, you probably don’t need a whole batch of cookies or an entire pan of brownies. Scaled-down sizes will do quite nicely if it’s just for you and your sweetie. And I’ll admit I’m a bit of a conformist when it comes to V-Day dessert: chocolate is a must for me.

Small-Batch Fudgy Dark Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches with Raspberry Buttercream fit the bill perfectly.

Rich, super fudgy, dark chocolate cookies that are so velvety their texture is almost like ganache. Sandwiched together with pretty pale pink buttercream that’s subtly flavored with raspberry. Oh my.

These are sure to please on Valentine’s or any day you need a little something sweet.

Fudgy Dark Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches with Raspberry Buttercream for Two
Prep time:  20 mins
Cook time:  10 mins
Total time:  30 mins
Yield: 4 sandwich cookies
 
Ingredients
Cookies:
  • 4 oz (115 g) good-quality semisweet chocolate (I used Chocoley Indulgence Ultra Couverture Dipping and Enrobing Semisweet Dark Chocolate)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup (70 g) sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (80 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
Buttercream:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons raspberry jam
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. For the cookies, melt the chocolate and butter together in a large bowl in a microwave or double boiler; cool slightly. Whisk in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt (the batter will be soft). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer until stiffened, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silpant liners.
  3. Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to measure out the dough. Roll into balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are light golden on the bottom, but not firm in the center, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely on the tray before removing.
  4. Once the cookies are cool, make the buttercream. Use a handheld electric beater to mix the butter and jam together in a medium bowl. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until smooth and creamy. (Depending on how thick your jam is, you may need a little more jam or powdered sugar to achieve the right consistency.)
  5. Assemble the cookie sandwiches by sandwiching 2 cookies together with frosting in the middle.

    These are so pretty (and you always have the most gorgeous food props!). Love that this is a recipe just for two. I’ve been overcoming my fear of baking the last few months and scaling down recipes for just a few servings. Too many delicious desserts, not enough time!

    I love any recipe that can be pared down easily for two people. In our house, it’s just the hubster and me, so it’s always a challenge trying to make “just enough” for the two of us. And these little yummies look like a perfect recipe to add to my collection. Thanks!

    Oh my goodness – the texture of those cookies sounds incredible and I adore chocolate and raspberry together. Nevermind making these for my husband for Valentine’s Day – I think I’m going to make them for myself! :-)

    I love small batch desserts! Since it’s just the two of us, that keeps me from over-indulging!

    Wow, they’re so beautiful! The filling, although simple, I’m sure it does them justice by adding just a little flavor. Well done!
