  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

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 thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Chill Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up and develop flavor.
  6. Prepare Whipped Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Do not overwhip.
  7. Keep Filling Cold: Place the whipped cream filling in the refrigerator to stay firm until assembly.
  8. Preheat Oven and Prep Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. 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.
  10. Bake Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Centers may appear slightly underbaked, which keeps them soft.
  11. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Melt Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  13. Cool Chocolate Slightly: Allow the melted chocolate glaze to cool briefly to thicken for easier glazing.
  14. Assemble Cookies: Take one cookie and place a generous dollop of whipped cream filling on the flat side.
  15. Create Sandwich: Top with another cookie, flat side down, gently pressing to spread the cream filling to the edges.
  16. Repeat Assembly: Continue assembling the rest of the cookies with the remaining cream filling.
  17. Glaze Cookies: Drizzle or dip the assembled sandwich cookies in the melted chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and improves cookie texture.
  • Whip the cream just until stiff peaks form to avoid turning it into butter.
  • Let cookies cool completely before assembling to prevent the filling from melting.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • Store assembled cookies in the refrigerator due to the cream filling and chocolate glaze.
