Shamrock Sandwich Cookies



Ingredients:

1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. corn syrup
2 cups flour
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
½ cup buttermilk
½ -1 oz green food coloring
green and white sprinkles (optional)


Filling:      
                       
8 oz. cream cheese
2 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cups powdered sugar


Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper, with pencil side down.


Beat butter and sugar in mixing bowl on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add egg and beat until well mixed. Mix in vanilla and corn syrup and beat about 30 seconds more.



Add flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a small mixing bowl. Add 1/3 of the mix to the batter and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Add 1/2 of the buttermilk and beat until just incorporated. Repeat with another 1/3 of the flour mix and the rest of the buttermilk and finally the last 1/3 of the flour mix. Scrape sides of the bowl as needed. Then add the food coloring.



Transfer batter to a piping bag fitting with a large round tip and pipe onto parchment paper. Bake about 8 minutes until the cookies are set. Cool about 5 minutes on the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Beat cream cheese and butter on medium heat until smooth and fluffy. About 3 minutes.  Add vanilla and beat about another minute.  Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time beating on low.  Transfer to piping bag and pipe onto the back of one of the cookies.  Then place another cookie on top.
