Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a small round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter), cut out cookie shapes and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Allow them to cool completely on wire racks.

Step 9

To make the filling, whisk the powdered sugar and heavy cream together in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable.

Step 10

Stir the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into the powdered sugar mixture and mix until fully combined.

Step 11

Spread a small amount of the chocolate filling onto the flat side of a cooled cookie and sandwich it with another cookie, flat sides facing inward.

Step 12

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