Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened for the filling
- 1-2 tablespoons milk for the filling
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for the filling
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each ball as they will spread while baking.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Filling
- For the filling, beat the softened butter with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, pipe or spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie to make a sandwich.
- Repeat this process until all cookies are filled.
Notes
To ensure your cookies turn out perfectly, use room temperature butter, measure flour properly, and do not skip the cooling step. Feel free to customize the filling with different flavors.
