Vegan Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Sandwich

Do you like cookies? Do you like chocolate? Then this recipe is for you. You are going to LOVE eating one (or more) of these Vegan Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Sandwich!

I have been making lots of fruity cakes lately. Passionfruit and Raspberry Cheesecake, Strawberry Cinnamon Galette, Peach and Almond Olive Oil Cake,.. although all equally delicious, I just cannot stay away from the Chocolate for too long!
What can I say? Sometimes, all you want is some rich, intense, yummy chocolate!

I cannot remember making Cookie Sandwiches before, but will definitely be remaking these ones soon. Coming up with vegan dessert recipes can be a bit challenging, especially when you are used to French Patisserie and using (a lot of) butter. But since many of my friends are Vegan (and I cannot possibly eat all the cakes I am constantly making), I have gotten used to try to come up with more and more vegan dessert recipes.

I am personally not vegan, but I like the idea that anyone can eat my treats. Plus, they are usually quite delicious! If you have never made a vegan dessert before, I know it can seem challenging. But don’t let the word scare you; everyone will absolutely love these Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Sandwiches, whether they are vegan or not. Seriously, you would never guess these treats are dairy free and made without butter if you didn’t know.

That being said, I am not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical looking at vegan shortbread dough recipes. After having made this recipe, I really wondered what I was afraid of. This shortbread dough was surprisingly the easiest dough to roll, ever! I don’t know if it is the Coconut Oil or something else, but the dough was extremely malleable and easy to work with. Maybe a bit too soft for a whole tart crust, but absolutely perfect for cookies. I will warn you though, the dough is SO easy to roll that you may roll it TOO much. When making the Chocolate Shortbread Cookies, try not to roll the dough too thin so that they don’t dry out/burn fast in the oven.
