Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- For the Cream Filling:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Chocolate Glaze:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cookies are cool, use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the center of half the cookies with the whipped cream filling. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butter together, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate glaze over the top of each cookie sandwich. Allow it to set for a few minutes.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
