Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cream Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Chill Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up, which helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
  5. Make Whipped Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, pour the heavy cream and add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overwhipping to maintain a smooth texture.
  6. Chill Filling: Set the cream filling aside in the refrigerator to keep it cool and firm while preparing the cookies.
  7. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  8. Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which ensures a soft texture.
  10. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Melt Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes total.
  12. Cool Chocolate Slightly: Let the chocolate cool slightly before glazing the cookies to avoid melting the whipped cream filling.
  13. Assemble Cookies: Take one cookie and place a generous dollop of the whipped cream filling on the flat side.
  14. Make Sandwich: Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich. Gently press down to spread the filling to the edges.
  15. Repeat Assembly: Repeat with the remaining cookies and cream filling until all are assembled into sandwich cookies.
  16. Glaze Cookies: Drizzle or dip the assembled cookies in the melted chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
  17. Set Chocolate: Place the glazed cookies on a wire rack to set the chocolate and firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
  • Chilling the dough is important to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Whip the cream to stiff peaks but avoid overwhipping to prevent curdling.
  • Allow the chocolate glaze to cool slightly before glazing to avoid melting the filling.
  • Store assembled cookies in the refrigerator to keep the cream filling fresh.
  • Use parchment paper on baking sheets to ensure easy cookie removal and even baking.
