Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups Shortening
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into two equal portions for easier handling.

Step 7

Roll out each portion of the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness and use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out an even number of cookies.

Step 8

Place the cookie rounds onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the filling, beat the shortening, powdered sugar, milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a large bowl on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.

Step 11

Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.

Step 12

Once the cookies are cool, pipe a dollop of the filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies.

Step 13

Place the remaining cookies, flat side down, on top of the filling to create cookie sandwiches.

Step 14

Press gently to spread the filling evenly and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
