Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but DO NOT let it boil. Then remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips.
1 cup heavy cream
Let it sit for 3 minutes and the stir with a spatula until blended.
Place in the refrigerator to set and firm for about 30 minutes.
You will remove the ganache from the refrigerator and let it sit and become a spreadable consistency while you make the cookies.
Make the cookies
For even cookie sizes: On a piece of parchment paper that is cut to fit a large baking sheet, draw 10 two ½ inch lines on the parchment paper spacing them 3 inches apart to account for the cookies spreading. This is optional if you'd like. You can just eyeball it too.
Turn the parchment over and place it on the baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and whisk together.
2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
In the large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, powdered sugar and granulated sugar and blend together until fluffy. (You can also use bowl of a stand mixer)
½ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, ⅓ cup granulated sugar
Lastly add in the dry ingredients and mix well until there are no dry flour spots.
Using a ruler, cut 1 ½ inches off the tip of a piping bag or large plastic zip closure baggie.
Place the bag in a tall cup and spoon the dough inside of it being careful not to over fill the bag.
Twist the top closed and pipe lines of cookie dough along the lines you made on the parchment
Press the dough down slightly.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
After baking, transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack for at least 10 minutes.
Assemble the cookies
Spread the ganache onto the flat side of a cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich cooking.
Notes
If using an electric hand mixer, the cookies will spread less than using a stand mixer. Be sure to measure the flour accurately. If you don’t own a food scale, lightly scoop from the container into a measuring cup and level it off with the back of a butter knife.Place the egg in a bowl of warm water to bring to room temperature or let it sit on the counter for about 30 minutes prior to using.
