Ingredients

• 85 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 70 grams All-purpose flour
• 85 grams Finely chopped almonds (or pecans)
• 175 grams Dark chocolate (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and combined. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Sift the flour into the mixture and stir until just combined. Then, fold in the finely chopped almonds or pecans.

Step 5

Drop teaspoon-sized portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart as the cookies will spread during baking.

Step 6

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are lightly set.

Step 7

Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 8

Once the cookies are cool, spread a thin layer of melted dark chocolate onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie, flat sides together.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining cookies and chocolate.

Step 10

Let the sandwiched cookies sit until the chocolate fully sets, or place them in the fridge for quicker setting.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your delicious Brussels Cookies!
