How to Make Chocolate Malt Sandwiches
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup malted milk powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup crème fraîche and 2 tablespoons hot water.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them 3 ½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly firm to the touch.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.
- While cookies cool, prepare the filling: In a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate and 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat together ⅓ cup malted milk powder and 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add ½ cup heavy cream, the melted chocolate mixture, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Refrigerate the filling, covered, for at least 30 minutes, or until thickened. Then, beat on high speed for about 3 minutes until fluffy.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread a heaping tablespoon of filling onto the bottom of one cookie. Top with another cookie.
- Repeat until all cookies are used. Store sandwiches between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
