Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, soft unsalted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, large egg, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped white chocolate in a bowl. Stir until melted and smooth. Refrigerate until firm.
- Preheat oven to 160°C for fan oven, or 180°C for conventional. Roll out dough to ¼ inch thickness. Cut out circles and create holes in half for a window effect. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
- Melt dark or milk chocolate, dip window cookies in melted chocolate, and sprinkle with finely chopped chocolate. Let set.
- Whip the chilled white chocolate ganache until light and fluffy. Pipe onto each cookie base, fill with cherry jam, and place decorated cookies on top to create sandwich-style treats.
