Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 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 salt
Cream Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Filling and Glazing
  1. In a medium bowl, whip together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  2. Once the cookies are completely cool, spoon or pipe the cream filling onto the bottom of half the cookies, then top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  4. Dip the tops of the filled cookies into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to set.

Notes

Keep cookies refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best texture, assemble cookies shortly before serving. Chill dough if warm to maintain shape.
