- 1 large egg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling Options:
Buttercream Filling:
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (if needed for consistency)
Chocolate Ganache Filling:
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, setting the dry mixture aside for later incorporation.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture becomes light and airy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar blend, mixing until completely smooth.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients, stirring carefully to prevent overmixing.
- Gently fold chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Refrigerate the prepared dough for a minimum of 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drop tablespoon-sized dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining 2-inch spacing between cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden and centers remain slightly soft.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Whip butter in a clean bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually integrate powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until the mixture reaches a silky consistency.
- Adjust filling texture with small amounts of milk if needed.
- Warm heavy cream in a saucepan until steaming, avoiding boiling.
- Pour hot cream over chocolate chips, allowing them to melt for 1-2 minutes before stirring to create a glossy ganache.
- Allow ganache to cool and slightly thicken at room temperature.
- Match cookies with similar sizes for uniform sandwiches.
- Apply filling using a spoon or piping bag to one cookie’s flat surface.
- Gently press matching cookie on top, creating a delicate sandwich.
- Serve immediately to enjoy optimal texture and freshness.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze individual sandwiches for longer preservation.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and enhance flavor depth during baking.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent cookie texture.
- For gluten-free option, swap wheat flour with almond or gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum for better binding.
