Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for extra texture)
For the Chocolate Cream Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Drizzle:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2–3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for extra texture.
- Scoop out dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the chocolate cream filling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Transfer the cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Once the cookies are cooled, pipe the chocolate cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
- For the chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Add milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the filled cookies and let it set before serving.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Best served with a glass of cold milk!
