Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

How to Make Creamy Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
9. Slowly add the heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture, beating until the filling is light and fluffy.
10. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
11. For a fun twist, you can drizzle extra chocolate over the assembled cookies if desired!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened for easier mixing.
• Allow your cream cheese to reach room temperature for a smoother filling.
• Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
• Chill the cookies after assembling to help the filling set if desired.

Easy Variations

• Swap the cream cheese filling for a chocolate ganache for an extra rich treat.
• Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the filling for a sweet and salty contrast.
• Use flavored extracts like almond or mint to change up the filling’s taste.

What to Serve With It

• A glass of cold milk for classic pairing.
• Coffee or espresso for a delightful afternoon treat.
• A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
• Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
