Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the filling)
How to Make Vanilla Cream Sandwich Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the tablespoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and the teaspoon of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and thick.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the vanilla cream filling on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
