Chocolate Cream Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cream Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsp heavy cream or milk (as needed)
Instructions:
1. Make the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
2. Bake the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
3. Make the Cream Filling:
- In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until smooth. If the filling is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Assemble the Sandwich Cookies:
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cream filling on the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, flat side down, to create sandwiches.
5. Serve:
- Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can add mini chocolate chips to the filling.
- Dust the finished cookies with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
