Today my parents and I watched the biscuits episode of the most recent GBBO season. After staring at sandwich cookie after sandwich cookie I needed to have some of my own to eat. Of course we do have name-brand Oreos in the house (Halloween style, no less!) but I’d gotten together the ingredients for these a few weeks ago and I decided today was the day! I really enjoyed making them because the cocoa was so rich looking the whole time I worked with it. Of course I burned the first batch but they’re still edible and the second batch was delicious! She gives options for sweeter cookies and more bitter. I went with the bitterer choice for the cookie and I’m glad I did. The frosting was plenty sweet! Here we have some not-burned cookies and a burned one being dipped:

I also made a bonus batch of sugar cookies in Halloweeny shapes for my husband.

The dough for those needed to chill for 4 hours so I was able to walk the dogs and make the sandwich cookies during the in-between time.
