Ganache is a traditional sauce made of chocolate, cream and in this case walnuts, which is used to add a chocoholic dimension to cookies, pasties, peanut butter fudge and other tempting baked delicacies.

Ganache is mostly used as a filling, as in the case of these Walnut Ganache Cookies too. Here, cookie dough is sandwiched with ganache, cut into strips and then baked to perfection. The result is an irresistible, melt-in-the-mouth cookie with the unmistakable tinge of dark chocolate.

Lose yourself in this delightful treat because magic like this doesn’t happen everyday! Yummy Sweet Treats like these will make your kids happy when they open their lunch box and would love to share with their friends, so do pack some more.
