Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Cookie cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 Egg large
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter softened (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract for filling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are firm.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
  • For the filling, beat together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
  • Top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
  • Let the cookies rest for 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Make sure the butter is at room temperature to ensure a smooth dough and filling. If the dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before rolling it out. For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the cocoa mixture.
