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 the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
  6. Prepare the Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to whip the cream until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes. Keep it chilled in the refrigerator until assembling.
  7. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers remain slightly soft.
  10. Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes total. Allow to cool slightly.
  12. Assemble the Cookies: Place a generous dollop of whipped cream on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie flat side down, gently pressing to spread the filling towards the edges.
  13. Glaze the Cookies: Dip or drizzle the assembled cookies with the melted chocolate glaze, letting excess drip off. Place the glazed cookies on a wire rack to set.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • Whip the cream just until stiff peaks form to avoid curdling.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before glazing to prevent melting the filling.
  • For firmer cream filling, refrigerate assembled cookies before serving.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent cookies from sticking.
