Cocoa Cookies

Ingredients
1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Method
1. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, flour and cocoa powder until sandy in texture. Add the granulated sugar and egg and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and comes together. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 325˚F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or bakers' Silpat.
3. On a lightly floured work surface, pound the dough until it is 1/4 inch thick. Using a cookie cutter or shot glass, cut the dough into 1 1/4 – inch circles and place on the lined baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely.
4. Whip the cream and confectioners' sugar until it forms firm peaks. Spread a generous layer of cream on a baked, cooled cookie. Sandwich with another cookie on top. Enjoy with the cookie shake.
Yield: about 30 cookie sandwiches
