Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 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 baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Whipped Cream Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, to enhance flavor)

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or heavy cream (to smooth glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a soft dough.
  2. Chill and Shape the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up. Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough into small, uniform balls and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
  3. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before assembling.
  4. Make the Whipped Cream Filling: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar (and optional vanilla extract) using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat to avoid turning it into butter.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter or heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly but keep it pourable.
  6. Assemble the Cookies: Spread or pipe a generous dollop of whipped cream onto the underside of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie. Dip the top of the cookie sandwich into the chocolate glaze or drizzle the glaze over the top. Place the assembled cookies on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to set the glaze.

Notes

  • Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
  • For a firmer filling, stabilize the whipped cream with a teaspoon of gelatin if desired.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark or milk chocolate depending on your preference.
  • Store the assembled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
  • Allow the chocolate glaze to come to room temperature before dipping to avoid cracking.
