Description
Recipe for making classic chocolate sandwich cookies with cream filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the filling, beat the 1/2 cup butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until light and creamy.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for easier handling.
- For a smoother filling, sift the powdered sugar before mixing.
