Description

Our egg free and nut free chocolate shortbread sandwich cookies are waiting to be filled with your favorite Lekkco flavor (Original, Sea Salt & Caramel, Coconut or Banana)! We know that chocolate & orange or chocolate & mint are always seasonal favorites, but we figured why not switch it up? Let the holiday festivities begin!

Yield: 15 sandwich cookies

Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

00 6 Tb. Butter, room temperature
00 6 Tb. Shortening
00 ½ c. Sugar
00 1 ½ c All Purpose Flour
00 ½ t. Salt
00 ½ c. + 2 Tb. Lekkco

Preparation

00 In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the butter and shortening with an electric mixer until smooth and set aside.
01 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and add to the butter mixture then mix until combined. This will form a stiff, dry dough.
02 Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and mold into a brick with a width of 3” and a height of 1”. The length may vary and that's okay.
03 Preheat the oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
04 Slice each cookie about ¼” thick and place on the cookie sheet about 2” apart, poke each cookie all the way through with a fork about 4 - 6 times, evenly. It should make about 30 individual cookies.
05 Bake for 15 - 16 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely.
06 Onc e cooled, spread about 2 teaspoons of Lekkco on the bottom on a cookie and sandwich with another cookie. Serve and enjoy!
