How to Make Double Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 2: Bake the Cookies
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Filling
10. In a bowl, beat butter until smooth and creamy.
11. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
12. If the filling is too thick, add a little more cream until it reaches a spreadable consistency.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich Cookies
13. Spread or pipe a generous layer of chocolate filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
14. Top with another cookie and gently press to create a sandwich.
15. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Serving & Storing

• Serve Immediately: These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later.
• Store in an Airtight Container: Keep at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
• Freeze for Later: Freeze assembled cookies for up to 2 months. Let them thaw before serving.

Tips for the Best Cookies

• Use High-Quality Cocoa Powder: It makes a difference in the depth of chocolate flavor.
• Don’t Overbake: The cookies should be soft in the center for a fudgy texture.
• Chill the Dough (Optional): If your dough is too soft, chill for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
• For a Fun Twist: Add a hint of espresso powder for a deeper chocolate taste!
