Instructions

1. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
2. Beat the butter and sugar on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat about 1 minute more. Scrape down the bowl and beat again as needed.
3. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet on low speed. If the dough is too soft and sticky to roll, add 1 more tablespoon of flour.
4. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each between lightly floured parchment or a floured silicone mat to about 1/4 inch thick, using more flour if sticky. Shapes can vary as long as the thickness is even.
5. Dust one rolled slab with flour and cover it with parchment, then place the second slab on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours and up to 2 days.
6. Once chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line 2–3 large baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
7. Cut one slab into 2-inch rounds, rerolling scraps, until all the dough is used. Repeat with the second slab; you should have about 64 circles.
8. Cut a 1-inch hole in the centre of 32 of the circles to make the donut cookies. Put the whole circles and donut cookies on separate sheets, 2 inches apart.
9. Bake the whole circles about 10 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges, and the donut cookies about 9 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Cool on the sheets 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Put 3 oz of the chopped chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just boils, then pour it over the chocolate. Stir gently until smooth, then cool 10 minutes until it thickens.
11. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of ganache on each whole circle, top with a donut cookie and press gently.
12. Melt the remaining chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring until smooth. If too thick to drizzle, add a splash of vegetable oil or melted coconut oil. Drizzle over the sandwiches and let set about 30 minutes.
