Biscuit Sandwich Cookies Recipes

BISCUIT SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With machine running, pour in 1/4 cup cream and the vanilla, and process until dough just comes together.
• Roll dough between lightly floured sheets of parchment until 1/16 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch fluted cutter, cut out 36 rounds, gathering together scraps and rerolling if needed. Space 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk together egg yolk and remaining tablespoon cream. Brush onto tops of cookies. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. (Unfilled cookies can be stored in an airtight container up to 4 days.)
• Turn over half the cookies, and spread 1 heaping teaspoon chocolate or chocolate-hazelnut spread onto each. Top with remaining cookies. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes (or up to 2 days; cookies will soften slightly with longer storage).

BISCUIT BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the biscuits: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter a small baking sheet. (Keep the cubed butter cold.)
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and toss to coat, then cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or rub and pinch it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse sand with no bits larger than the size of gravel.
• Add the milk all at once and quickly stir with a fork until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Use the fork to scoop and drop 4 even mounds of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing apart. Gently pat the tops and sides to form round pucks; it's OK if the tops are a little craggy.
• Bake until golden brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool on the pan on a rack while preparing the fillings.
• Make the fillings: Beat the eggs in a medium bowl until well mixed but not frothy. Season very generously with salt and pepper and beat again. Heat a medium nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter, turn the heat to low and swirl the butter to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. When the butter has melted about halfway, add the eggs all at once. Cook, stirring gently, until mostly set but still a little wet, 1 to 2 minutes, then spread in an even layer.
• Once the bottom and edges are fully set, turn off the heat and cut the egg pancake in quarters using the spatula. Set a slice of cheese over each quarter. Slice each of the biscuits in half and spread jam on both halves. If you want bacon, sausage or ham, place them over the bottom halves. Slide the cheesy egg quarters over the bottom halves (or meat) and fold over any corners that stick out. Sandwich with the top halves and serve warm.
