Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable shortening
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. The dough will be thick, so mix slowly to avoid overworking it.

Step 6

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Using the bottom of a glass or a fork, flatten each ball slightly until it's about ¼-inch thick.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm (avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender). Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

To prepare the filling, beat the powdered sugar, vegetable shortening, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl until light, fluffy, and smooth.

Step 10

Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread 1-2 teaspoons of the filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top it with another cookie to create a sandwich, pressing gently to distribute the filling evenly.

Step 11

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