Sumatra Chocolate Coconut Cream Filled Sandwich Cookie

Originally created as an entry into the 2013 Scharffen Chocolate Contests. This cookie sammich had to have a special name.  And, because of that I went to the most creative and zany foodie friends  I know and asked for suggestions…I mean this is not just your ordinary cookie sandwich, right?  It’s a work of art.  It has layers of flavor,  It has a depth of dimension.  While it may look like ‘just a chocolate’ sandwich cookie, it’s much more than that~~it’s got adventure ingredients that range from Sumatra coffee and cayenne to tequila!

May I present the ‘Spicy Hot Sumatran Tiger Chocomallow Loco’~~an explosion of fireworks on the palate! I owe a big thank you to all who chimed in to this Facebook post~~Lori, Adam, Sun City Farm Girl, Phoenix Rising, Kimberley B., Kimberley S., Vona, Radha, Sharon, Nettie, Gina, Gary, & Nanou~~ya’ll rock!  Careful when you take a bite…it bites back!

  2. Ally, I LOVE your chocolate “fire” and raspberry “ice” dessert idea, and the name you picked for it is reminiscent of a tornado on my tongue. Will you be my weather girl? Your creativity in the kitchen brings me such joy — as does your writing. Two gooey thumbs up for your sammich cookie creation! (I’m assuming finger-or-thumb licking is allowed…) 😉
