Ingredients

  • For the Cookies:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Filling:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Chocolate Coating:
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Prepare the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into rectangular shapes (about 2 inches by 1 inch) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

Assemble the Tim Tams

Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the filling on the bottom side of one cookie and top with another cookie, pressing gently to sandwich them together. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Prepare the Chocolate Coating

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.

Coat the Tim Tams

Dip each sandwiched cookie into the melted chocolate, using a fork to turn and coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated cookies on a wire rack or parchment paper to set.

Serve

Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving. Store the Tim Tams in an airtight container at room temperature.

Enjoy your meal!
