These sandwich cookies, however, just beg you to take a bite with the cookie intact. Two soft chocolate cookies, with a creamy, buttery filling, coats your mouth with the essence of almonds. Delicious! Enjoy these with a glass of milk, but don't enjoy them with kids! These cookies contain a liqueur called Amaretto, so they are for "adults only."
These cookies are easy to assemble, just make the cookies, make the cream, pipe the cream on, put the cookies together!
