Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 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, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix into the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing just until combined to avoid over-mixing the dough.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm it up and enhance the texture.
  5. Prepare Whipped Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  6. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for baking.
  7. Scoop and Bake Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheets spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden; centers may appear slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Melt Chocolate Glaze: Combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes total. Let the glaze cool slightly.
  10. Assemble Cookies: Take one cookie and place a generous dollop of whipped cream on the flat side. Top with a second cookie, flat side down, gently pressing to spread the filling evenly.
  11. Apply Chocolate Glaze: Drizzle or dip the assembled cookie sandwiches into the melted chocolate glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
  12. Set and Serve: Place the glazed cookies on a wire rack to allow the chocolate glaze to set before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and leads to a chewier texture.
  • Ensure the whipped cream reaches stiff peaks but avoid overwhipping to prevent it from turning into butter.
  • Use fresh eggs and high-quality vanilla for the best flavor.
  • Allow chocolate glaze to cool to avoid melting the whipped cream filling when applying.
  • Store assembled cookies in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
