Homemade Tim Tam‑Style Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

A copycat version of Australia’s iconic Tim Tam biscuits. Thin, crisp chocolate‑wafer cookies sandwich a silky milk‑chocolate ganache filling and are enrobed in a dark chocolate coating. The recipe follows Claire Saffitz’s method from her “Claire Recreates” series, with detailed steps for rolling ultra‑thin wafers, making a whipped ganache, and coating the cookies for a clean snap.

Critical Success Points

  • Rolling the dough to an ultra‑thin (~2 mm) uniform thickness.
  • Chilling the dough before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Whipping the ganache to a buttercream consistency for a smooth filling.
  • Enrobing the cold sandwiches quickly to achieve a thin, glossy chocolate shell.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot cream and melted chocolate can cause severe burns; handle with care.
  • Use oven mitts when removing hot baking sheets.
  • Sharp knives or pizza cutters used for trimming dough can cause cuts.
