CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Cookies: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. With the machine running, gradually add the flour mixture until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Using a 1-ounce ice cream or cookie scoop, form 12 equal-sized pieces of dough onto each baking sheet. With damp hands, form the dough into balls. Flatten the tops of the dough slightly and bake until the tops of the cookies begin to crack slightly, about 14 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Filling: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and vanilla together until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Color the frosting by mixing in the food coloring, 1 drop of at a time, until the desired color is reached. Add water, if needed, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, to make the consistency spreadable.

CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract. With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined; it will still be a bit crumbly. Pour the mixture onto a work surface and give it a few kneads to bring it all together. Divide in half, shape into flat discs, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for an hour (or up to two days).
• Dust your surface and the top of the dough with plenty of cocoa powder. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out 2 1/2-inch rounds. Transfer them to the baking sheets, 1 inch apart (using a small offset spatula helps with this step). Re-roll the scraps and cut out more rounds.
• Bake the cookies until the tops are no longer shiny, about 20 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the filling: With a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter, powdered sugar and salt until combined. Fill a piping bag with the filling. Place half of the cookies on a plate or work surface. Pipe a blob of filling onto the tops of each of these cookies and then place another cookie on top, pressing slightly. Refrigerate for a few minutes to allow the filling to firm up. Enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
