Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Chocolate Sandwich Cookies! Crisp chocolate cookies with a creamy vanilla filling. Just like the classic packaged version!
Happy New Week! It’s time for chocolate cookies.
These cookies are just like the classic chocolate sandwich cookies ( psst..Oreos) and are just right for your holiday cookie swap this year.
Ingredients Needed:
- Flour + Salt
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Butter
- Egg + Vanilla
- Sugar
- Additional for Filling:
- Powdered sugar + Butter flavored shortening + Milk
➝ No, you do not need any leavening ingredients. This will give your cookies a nice snap/crisp to them.
Make Your Cookies: First, mix the batter. Then, take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 1 inch ball. Place it on the baking sheet. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Next, using a glass, flattened those 1 inch balls. You want the cookies to be about 1/2 inch thick. Don’t fret if they aren’t exactly that size. Just do your best to get them all at the same thickness. Dip the bottom of the glass in cocoa powder or spray lightly with non stick cooking spray before doing this, to avoid the glass sticking to the dough.
Then, bake. Once they are done, let them cool completely before adding the filling.
Finally, make your filling. Spread the filling on one cookie, top it with another cookie. Yippee! It’s a cookie sandwich!
Why is Your Filling Green? Is it Mint?
No, my filling is not mint, but, it is green. I thought it would look a little festive for the season. 🎄 However, if you wish to make yours mint, just add a teaspoon of mint/peppermint extract into your frosting while beating.
Enjoy-
linking up and weekend potluck
