Would You Like A Cookie? {chocolate malt sandwiches}
I wanted to share this recipe for “Chocolate Malt Sandwiches” that I made via Martha Stewart. They came out light and delicately sweet, so it was a nice sweet fix without that over the top chocolate richness (Well, at least I felt like I was eating lighter…Ha!)
I made several adjustments to mine: I did not have any creme fraiche so I just used plain soy yogurt. I do not buy regular milk, so I think I used either rice or almond milk in place of that. For my filling, I only used a mixture of cream cheese, dutch cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. If you are vegan, you could easily try using soy/tofu based cream cheese for the filling and soy/tofu based sour cream(in place of the fraiche. I must say that the tofutti sour cream is quite divine), egg replacer for the eggs, and vegan margarine. Anyhow, either way you do it, you should definitely give them a try because they are super yummy & pretty once baked. Oh, and by no means do you have to make them as big as I did, I could barely eat one of these in one sitting!

This recipe INSTANTLY caught my attention, and I had to make them. I actually used your version for the filling, and made some sandwiches with vanilla filling, and the other half chocolate. Two adjustments that I made with the recipe is that I used Oikos plain Greek yogurt as a creme fraiche substitute, and I used 1/4 cup of applesauce as an egg alternative. These sandwich cookies tasted GREAT! Thanks for the recipe!

@F. rebma…I am SO happy that you liked them! and I am going to most definitely try the applesauce in place of the eggs next time. Yay!

Oh my goodness, Ericka, I read your post last night, showed it to my husband, and we instantly made a trip to the grocery store for the ingredients. We used everything in the recipe except we substituted low fat plain yoghurt for creme fraiche (couldn’t find or or wait long enough to make our own). These cookies are sooooooo good! Thank you!
