Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
In large bowl, beat together sugar, butter, egg, melted chocolate and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add flour while stirring. Beat until smooth. Shape dough into 48 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls.
Place balls on cookie sheet about 2-inch (5 cm) apart. Flatten with glass bottom to form 2-inch (5 cm) circles. Dip glass bottom in sugar, to prevent sticking.

Spread half the cookies with Cream Cheese Icing and top with remaining ones, pressing lightly. Dust with sugar.
