Chocolate Chip Ganache Crème Cookies

For Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 F and lightly grease two large light metal baking sheets.
2. Cream vegan margarine, pudding mix and sugar.
3. Mix in milk and vanilla
4. Add 1 cup of the flour and baking soda. Combine until well incorporated.
5. Mix in the remainder of the flour.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips; the dough should be formed.
7. For best results, spoon the dough onto plastic wrap or wax paper and shape and roll into a log, then refrigerate for a minimum of 10 minutes so that you can cut it rather than spooning it; it’s a much easier way to handle sticky cookie dough.
8. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes – no more than 9 – until they are just a little browned around the edges.
9. Let cool completely before preparing the cookie sandwich with the Chocolate Ganache.
10. Yields 24 cookies
