• Step 1

  MAKE THE COOKIES:
  Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baked soda, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl until no lumps remain.

  Melt the chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, or microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring between each burst, until liquefied. Set aside to cool slightly.

  In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, shortening, and sugar on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until light, fluffy, and creamy. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly before adding the next. Pour in the melted chocolate and mix until just combined.

  Add the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Shape into 2 discs of roughly equal size and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until firm.

  Preheat the oven to 375˚F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat liners.

  On a floured work surface, roll one of the dough discs to ¼-inch thickness and stamp out cookie rounds, using a 1½-inch cookie or biscuit cutter. Transfer the rounds to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining disc of dough.

  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly crispy at the edges and puffed but still pliable in the center. Cool completely on a wire rack before filling.

• Step 2

  FILL THE COOKIES:
  Using the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the powdered sugar, corn syrup, milk, and shortening on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 30 more seconds to whip slightly.

  With the flat side of a cooled cookie facing up, spoon 1 teaspoon filling onto the center. Top with a second cookie, flat side down, spreading the filling evenly. Repeat to fill all the cookies.

  Store the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.

I have a copy of the book. You need 2 ounces of semi sweet dark chocolate

You need to scroll down for the "rest" of the ingredients..... They are there with the exception of chocolate to be melted. Hopefully this will be corrected soon !!!!!!!

There is no mention of chocolate to melt in the list of ingredients !!!!! 1 square or 2 squares ??? I would love to try these, but ...
PLUS... Flour for cookie, and 10x Sugar for frosting are listed in a completely separate place ! I got it all together except for the baking chocolate. Sooooo... how much ???

I am also a little confused. Where is the list for the frosting? There doesn't seem to be measurements listed for the ingredients.
