Ingredients

Scale

For the 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
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Cream Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which will help create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to incorporate fully, then add the vanilla extract for flavor enhancement.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening and seasoning agents.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to prevent overworking the dough.
  6. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, whip together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy filling.
  9. Fill Cookies: Once the cookies are fully cooled, spoon or pipe the cream filling onto the bottom side of half the cookies, then sandwich with the remaining cookies to create filled cookie sandwiches.
  10. Make Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
  11. Glaze Cookies: Dip the tops of the filled cookies into the chocolate glaze, letting any excess drip off before placing them back on the wire rack to set the glaze, forming a glossy chocolate topping.

Notes

  • The cookies must be completely cooled before adding the cream filling to prevent melting and sogginess.
  • For a firmer cream filling, chill it briefly before assembling the cookies.
  • The chocolate glaze can be substituted with melted dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Store assembled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To ensure even baking, rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking.
