ganache stuffed chocolate chip cookes

This is one heavenly sandwich cookie .....and I need them like I need a whole in  the head....but the weather is miserable on Portland Oregon and we all need a little cheering up....!!

Cookies.
1 cup plus 2 tbsp plain flour.
1 teasp baking soda
1/4 teasp salt
1 stick butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teasp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup chocolate chips

Ganache.
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
5 tbsp heavy cream
2 1/2 tbsp light corn syrup

To make the cookies,  first preheat your oven to 375. Cream the butter and sugars in a standing mixer fitted with a paddle, for about a minute.
    Beat in the egg ,then add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the chocolate chips.

Spoon level tbsps of the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet and refridgerate for about 20 mins until firm

Meanwhile make the ganache.  Put the chopped chocolate in a bowl. In a saucepan,bring the cream and corn syrup to the boil and pour over the chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Put this into the fridge too and leave until its thick and spreadable, about an hour.

Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, until golden, let cool on the baking sheet for 2 mins ,then transfer to a rack to cool completely .

Sandwich the cookies with the ganache ,and kiss goodbye to wearing a bikini this summer.....!!
