Comments: The sweet, mellow flavor of malted-milk powder tempers a rich mousselike filling in this Cookie of the Week. The cookies are also delicious without the filling; just serve them plain with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients:
10 Ounce(wt)s chocolate, baking, semi-sweet coarsely chopped
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, malted-milk powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until combined. Add the crème fraîche, beat to combine, and then beat in the water. Add the dry ingredients, and beat on low speed until incorporated.

Using a ½-ounce ice-cream scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.

Bake until tops begin to flatten and cookies are just barely firm in the centers, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Combine the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and cool until just warm.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitter with the paddle attachment, beat the malted-milk powder and cream cheese on medium speed until completely smooth. Gradually add the half-and-half, beating until combined. Add the chocolate mixture and vanilla, and beat until incorporated. Refrigerate until slightly thickened but not stiff, about 30 minutes. Return to mixer, and beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides several times.

Assemble the cookies:
Use a small offset spatula to spread a generous amount of filling on the bottom of one cookie. Press the bottom of a second cookie onto filling, creating a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. The cookies can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
