Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
• 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Flatten the dough balls slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand to create even discs.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges. Do not overbake; they should remain soft in the center.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the filling, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, and beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Step 11

Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
