Allow the ganache to cool, whisking it occasionally, until it is thickened enough to spread with a knife, about 45 minutes.

Turn one cookie upside down and, using a butter knife, spread a heaping teaspoon of the ganache onto the flat side, then place the bottom of the second cookie on the ganache to form a sandwich; the two round tops of the cookies should be facing outward. Repeat until all the cookies have been used. View More Arrow
