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

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. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Chill Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough for easier handling.
  5. Prepare Whipped Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, pour the heavy cream and add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overwhipping. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep cool.
  6. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop and Bake Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheets spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Melt Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and melted (about 1-2 minutes).
  10. Assemble Cookies: Take one cookie and place a generous dollop of whipped cream filling on the flat side. Top with another cookie flat side down to make a sandwich. Gently press to spread the filling evenly.
  11. Glaze Cookies: Dip or drizzle the assembled cookies with the melted chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
  12. Set and Serve: Place glazed cookies on a wire rack to set the chocolate before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened for easier creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
  • Whip the cream just until stiff peaks to avoid a grainy texture.
  • Chilling dough helps in shaping and prevents spreading during baking.
  • The chocolate glaze can be adjusted with more or less oil for preferred consistency.
  • Store assembled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the whipped cream fresh.
  • Allow cookies to come to room temperature slightly before serving for the best flavor.
