Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups butter room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Filling
- 1 ¼ cups butter room temperature
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar spooned and leveled
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare large-rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 6 minutes.
- Then add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until incorporated and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the flour mixture to the batter and beat just until blended.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until set on the sides and slightly crinkled across the top. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Once the cookies are cool, make the filling by beating the butter until creamy.
- Then slowly mix in the confectioner’s sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and salt. Once the dry ingredients are mostly incorporated, increase the speed and beat until whipped and creamy.
- Transfer the filling into a piping bag with the end snipped.
- Pipe the filling onto a cookie. Then, place another cookie on top, twisting slightly to spread the filling to the edge.
- Refrigerate the cookies until the filling has set.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
