TKO Cookies by Thomas Keller

I live a short 30 minute drive to a small town in the Napa Valley called Yountville. Yountville is home to many terrific and famous restaurants like French Laundry, Boucheron, Boucheron Bakery, Ad Hoc... These are all owned by a well know chef by the name of Thomas Keller. Thomas Keller is known for his take on old childhood favorites... this cookie is his sophisticated version of the Oreo (Thomas Keller's Oreos)! The only place to purchase these cookies is at the Boucheron Bakery (next time i'm there i will pick some up) and they are very popular according to many posts that i've come across... Since my Dad loves the French Laundry I decided to give these cookies a go... they are simple to make and taste great! The outside is a thin, shortbread-like rich cocoa flavored cookie that becomes slightly softer as the filling and cookie meld together. I like to use coarse Kosher salt for a little more salt hit with the chocolate. The white chocolate ganache for the filling whips up nice and fluffy so i was able to easily pipe it in between the two cookies! Try them for yourself and see! You can find the recipe here.
