Cooking with Alicia & Annie--Fudge Sandwhich Cookies

"...city sidewalks...busy sidewalks...dressed in holiday style...in the air there is a feeling of christmas....soon it will be christmas day...."


As a child I used to wait for two dates most in the entire year--one was Sep.4th (my birthday) and the other was Dec.25th (Christmas day).
I clearly recall one such Chrishtmas eve. I was in std 7th then. I loved putting up stockings at my bed post, and then strictly instructing my parents not to put anything in it ( I had a hunch!) so that I can check for sure whether or not Santa actually visits us. Much to my dismay, I didn't find anything...but I wasn't really upset. My point proven, I went ahead and enjoyed the cheer. Thats' the beauty of this festival, you are bound to be HAPPY! And as for gifts my dad in any case spoiled me often (have been a papa's girl always) and Christmas was no different. lol....

It was pointed out to me quite recently that I have been on a sugar spree lately. I am shamefully aware of that. But c'mon I think I can be excused for posting so many sweet goodies/recipes. Cheer up guys...it happens just once in a year..so indulge! :-p

This is a another of the many fudge recipes from Annie's Recipes.

Fudge Sandwhich Cookies


Ingredients-

1 1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cups cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt

( I halved the quantity of the ingredients as I was making/testing with a small batch)

Method-

Cream butter or margarine and sugar in large mixing bowl.
Add eggs and vanilla, blend well.
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt (no need to seive).Blend into creamed mixture.
Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes.

Note: My fudge cookies were a little less like fudge and a little more like cookies, nevertheless delicious. :P

I served them with my favourite ice-cream dollop in between. They were yum...!
