Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for lighter filling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, combining until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Shape and Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough into small, evenly sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and gently flatten each ball slightly. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Make the Creamy Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. For a lighter, fluffier filling, whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons of heavy cream until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread or pipe a generous dollop of the cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Place another cookie on top and gently press to spread the filling evenly. Repeat with the remaining cookies until all are paired.

Notes

  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing for both dough and filling.
  • Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool, so remove slightly underbaked for the best texture.
  • Using a piping bag for the filling creates cleaner, more attractive sandwiches with evenly distributed filling.
  • Store sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
