- 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper

Directions
- For filling, in a small saucepan, combine 6 ounces (1 cup) of the sweet chocolate, the cream, and butter. Cook and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted. Transfer to a medium bowl.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
- Spread filling on bottoms of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, bottom sides down. Makes about 25 sandwich cookies.
