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 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 to combine fully.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Chill Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Prepare Whipped Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Keep the whipped cream chilled.
  7. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Form Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain slightly soft.
  10. Cool Cookies: Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Melt Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, about 1-2 minutes total. Allow to cool slightly.
  12. Assemble Cookies: Take one cookie and put a generous spoonful of whipped cream on the flat side, then top with another cookie, flat side down, pressing gently to spread the filling evenly.
  13. Dip and Drizzle Chocolate: Dip or drizzle the cookie sandwiches with the melted chocolate glaze, letting excess drip off.
  14. Set the Chocolate: Place glazed cookies on a wire rack to let the chocolate set before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure butter is softened but not melted when creaming.
  • Refrigerating the dough prevents spreading and helps achieve the perfect cookie texture.
  • Do not overwhip the cream filling to avoid it turning into butter.
  • Use semi-sweet chocolate for a balanced sweetness complementing the cream filling.
  • Store assembled cookies in a cool place or refrigerator to maintain the filling and chocolate glaze.
