Chocolate Butter Pecan Sandwich Cookies

Nutty brown butter pecan filling is sandwiched between thin chocolate-y wafers in this cookie.

These are relatively easy to make for a sandwich cookie as both cookie and filling are simple creamed mixtures. There is a little advanced preparation required in browning the butter for the filling and toasting the pecans, and the dough and filling do need to chill briefly, but the chocolate wafers are drop cookies that bake very quickly.

The chocolate cookie is delicious on its own and the filling creamy and sweet with a double dose of nutty flavour from the browned butter and toasted pecans with just a hint of salt. The wafer cookie softened over time but retained its crispy edges even a few days later. It would be great in an ice cream sandwich.
