Happy National Cookie Day and day 3 in Sally’s Cookie Palooza!!! Yes, today December 4th is National Cookie Day and that’s a holiday we take VERY seriously around here. To celebrate this joyous occasion, I made a recipe where you literally eat two cookies at once. Is there really a better way to celebrate this day?
These Chocolate Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies Are:
Adorably shaped & extra festive Flavored with robust molasses Spiced with plenty of ginger, cinnamon, allspice & cloves Crunchy on the edges, soft in the centers Filled with 2 ingredient chocolate ganache
And they combine linzer cookies, chocolate ganache and my most popular Christmas cookie recipe: gingerbread cookies. Have you ever had the pleasure of chocolate and gingerbread in one? Maybe you have tried these chocolate ginger cookies? Forget peanut butter this season (Wait. Am I really saying that?) because gingerbread is chocolate’s new best bud.
Chocolate Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies & ALDI!
The other week, I stocked up on all my baking products from my local ALDI. Many of you have been raving about their affordable prices in my Facebook group (thanks everyone!), so I was extra excited to check it out. They recently remodeled the store by us, so it was really easy to find everything I need for today’s recipe and all of my Christmas cookie baking. Butter, molasses, chocolate chips, spices, confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, sugar and so much more. If you haven’t shopped at ALDI before, I urge you to find a store near you not only to shop for your holiday baking products, but for fun snacks, affordable organic produce and everyday essentials. Some Items You Need:
Baker’s Corner Molasses Baker’s Corner Confectioners’ Sugar Baker’s Corner Semi-Sweet Morsels
How to Make Linzer-Style Gingerbread Cookies
These are almost too pretty to eat. (I said almost.)
Chocolate Ganache Filling
Remember when I told you that chocolate ganache is best with pure chocolate bars? Turns out that Baker’s Corner Semi-Sweet Morsels make an unbelievable ganache and you don’t need to chop them up beforehand. Pour 1/2 cup of warm heavy cream over 2/3 cup semi-sweet morsels. Let it sit for a couple minutes, then stir until thick and smooth. Foolproof and only 2 ingredients.

The National Cookie Day celebration doesn’t end here! If you need more recipe inspiration after you stock up at ALDI, here are plenty of recipes to try next:
