  7. Scrape dough onto work surface and divide into two. Form each into disk; cover with plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  8. Preheat oven to 325°F; line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
  9. Remove 1 disk from fridge and between sheets of parchment, roll out dough to thickness of about 3/16 x 10 inches.
  10. Cut out dough using a 2-inch fluted rectangular cutter.
  11. Place cookies on prepared sheets.
  12. Bake 8 - 10 minutes. Cool.
  13. Ganache:.
  14. In small pan combine whipping cream and espresso. Bring just to boil.
  15. Remove from heat, and add chopped chocolates, whisk until smooth.
  16. Chill 1/2 hour.
  17. Spread about 1 tsp ganache onto bottom of each cookie, top with another cookie.
  18. Dust with icing sugar.
  19. NOTE: I usually double the ganache! I find that we like more filling in the cookies. And besides - it is good right off the spoon, so there alone you need to double - LOL.
