Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar, melted margarine, and beaten eggs in a large bowl.
- Mix well until smooth.
- Sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened chocolate, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to the sugar mixture alternately with soured milk or buttermilk, mixing until combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, spread your favorite chocolate icing between two cookies to form sandwiches.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer chocolate flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of unsweetened chocolate. If you don't have buttermilk, regular milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice can work as a substitute. Make sure to not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to keep the cookies tender. To ensure even baking, space the cookies adequately on the sheet.
Serving Suggestions
These delicious sandwich gobs are perfect for a sweet treat alongside a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. You can also serve them at parties or bake sales. For a delightful variation, consider adding a layer of fruit preserves with the icing for a tangy twist. They pair beautifully with Homemade Ice Cream(For Four-Quart Freezer) for an indulgent dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Chocolate Sandwich Gobs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them, which can help maintain their freshness. If you prefer a warm treat, simply microwave the sandwich gobs for a few seconds before serving to soften the icing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of icing for these sandwich gobs?
Absolutely! While chocolate icing is traditional, feel free to experiment with vanilla buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or even a peanut butter spread for a unique flavor combination. Just ensure the icing has a similar consistency to hold up between the cookies.
What can I do if my cookies come out too dry?
If your cookies are dry, it might be due to overbaking or too much flour. Make sure to measure the flour accurately and check for doneness a minute or two before the recommended time. Adding a touch more soured milk or buttermilk next time can also help maintain moisture.
How can I make these sandwich gobs more festive?
You can easily make these cookies festive by adding colorful sprinkles to the icing or incorporating seasonal flavors like peppermint extract for a holiday twist. Additionally, using cookie cutters to shape the cookies can add a fun element for parties or celebrations.
