Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been living very quietly – around two weeks ago I had a nasty fall and badly sprained my knee. I’ve also had a very irritating chesty cough so I really haven’t been in the mood for doing much baking or proper cooking.
One thing I did manage to rustle up for my boys last week was these very yummy chocolate orange sandwich cookies from the April issue of Sainsbury’s Magazine. I have to admit I do love the Sainsbury’s magazine – it’s such a good read and always packed full of yummy sounding recipes. I love curling up with the latest copy and a mug of tea – the simple things in life make me happy 🙂
This recipe is by Joanne Wheatley and lets just say it was a roaring success with my boys and their friends who happened to call by the house that day. The cookies by themselves are so good – they are thick, chewy on the outside and soft in the middle. They taste of vanilla and are loaded with chocolate chunks (I used a large bar of Cadbury’s Milk chocolate).
What really takes these cookies to another level is the chocolate orange ganache you fill them with. I’m sorry I don’t have a picture of the filled cookie sandwiches. I did take one but I can’t find it right now. But you’ll see them on the link below. They really are gorgeous. Wish I had one right now!
Want to try the recipe? You’ll find it right here on the Sainsbury’s blog 🙂
These look lovely, winning ingredient combination. Hope your knee is better soon. Tracey
These sure wouldn’t last in my house either. Yum. Glad you are better!
Sorry to read that you’re not well, Nicola. Hope you get well soon!
Thank you Tracey 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Thank you Erika, feeling a little better today 🙂
