minutes. Slip foil off sheet. Let cookies cool until firm, about 10
minutes. Using thin spatula, transfer cookies to waxed paper. Repeat

Melt chocolates in double boiler over gently simmering water; stir

cookie with 1 teaspoon melted chocolate. Top chocolate with second
cookie, pressing gently to form "sandwich." Repeat with remaining
cookies. Let cool. (Can be prepared 1 month ahead and frozen. Store
between layers of waxed paper. Bring to room temperature before
serving.)
