Description
Make classic sandwich cookies using homemade chocolate chip cookies filled with a sweet cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until creamy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the filling, beat the shortening, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and fluffy.
- Pair two cooled cookies together with about 2 tablespoons of filling between them.
Notes
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake them.
- You can use dark or milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- Store assembled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
