*Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. To learn more, please go here.I've been wanting to make a chocolate sandwich cookies that resembles the penguin biscuits that I fell in love with during my time in England. It's a chocolate sandwich cookie that is filled with a chocolate frosting and coated in chocolate. It's chocolate cookie heaven basically.Now these chocolate sandwich cookies are not as sweet as the packaged ones. If you like it more sweet you can always add in a little more cocoa powder to the buttercream. I didn't even have a penguin cookie cutter to make these bad boys even better. So instead I used this cute pig cookie cutter and these cookies turned out just absolutely adorable!Now you don't have to use the cute pig cookie cutter. Use whatever cookie cutter you want! You don't have to use chocolate buttercream either. Certainly use a vanilla buttercream or even a caramel buttercream would be so good in these cookies! Don't want to coat them in dark chocolate? You can use white if you want. You could even have fun with it and use a colored candy coating and add sprinkles on top!

Above are some products that I personally use and recommend for this recipe and to have for everyday use. One of my favorite things that I have many of are the BlueQ oven mitts. They aren't just really funny and a great statement piece for your kitchen, but they are great quality too!
