Let the batter stand at room temperature at least 1 hour before continuing

16

Using a small cookie scoop, drop the batter in rounded tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheets, spacing 1 1/2-to-2-inches apart

17

Bake the cookies until slightly firm to touch and crackled all over tops but still soft in the center, 12 to 15 minutes

29

Place the remaining cookies on top, ganache side down, to form sandwich cookies
