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

Vanilla 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. Prepare the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  2. Shape and bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Prepare the vanilla cream filling: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble.
  4. Make the chocolate glaze: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  5. Assemble the cookies: Pair the cooled cookies into matching sizes. Spread or pipe a generous amount of the vanilla cream on the flat side of one cookie from each pair, then sandwich with its matching cookie. Dip the top of each sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate glaze or spread it evenly on top.
  6. Set and serve: Place the assembled cookies on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming with sugar.
  • For a stronger vanilla flavor, consider using vanilla bean paste instead of extract in the cream filling.
  • If you do not have heavy cream, chilled whipping cream can be used as an alternative.
  • To avoid cracking, ensure cookies are completely cool before assembling with cream and chocolate.
  • Store cookies refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
