Delightful dessert to devour from the kitchens of  faydyn

******************************

Taken from

"Savoring Deserts" by Williams Sonoma

Apparently these are a favorite in Verona Italy (best known as being the backdrop for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet)

you will need

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter at room temprature
1/2 cup of confectioners (powdered) sugar
1/2 tsp of salt
1 tablespoon rum
2 cups of all purpose flour
2oz of semi sweet chocolate

method:

cream a cup of the butter and sugar with an electric mixer stir in rum and slowly stir in flour and salt until well blended

cover and let chill for one hour

preheat your oven to 350

scoop the dough by the teaspoonful (i used a small cookie scoop) onto an ungreased cookie sheet bake for 10 to 12 minutes cookies will be firm and set but not browned

remove to a wire rack to cool partially

take the remaining butter and chocolate and melt in a double boiler or a bowl held over a pot of boiling water

with a butter knife or offset spatula spread chocolate on the bottom of a cookie and sandwich two together let cool completely

yields about two dozen completed cookie sandwiches

because I used a cookie scoop that was considerably bigger then a teaspoon I yielded 18
