These cookies were for another overnight at work. The cookie dough has a very deep chocolate flavor but isn't too sweet. The apricot preserves filling adds the extra little bit of sugar to make these delicious. I also splurged on some quality melting chocolate (68% cocoa, thanks Central Market). The dipping chocolate was so good I scooped the rest of it out of the bowl with a piece of bread...
Rolling out the cookies was the hardest part. Because of the sheer volume of chocolate, the dough became sticky very quickly after pulling it out of the refrigerator, but rolling it between sheets of waxed paper kept things clean. A pastry board, or an apartment with stone counter tops, is now on my wish list though. I also need a more level rolling pin, as my cookies were of varying thickness. They still tasted great though. The dough freezes for a couple months, and I still have 1/3 of it left, so I'll get a second shot at these
