Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
8. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the rolled dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and cocoa powder until smooth and creamy.
11. Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous amount of cream filling onto the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie, pressing gently to distribute the filling evenly.
12. Repeat with the remaining cookies and cream filling.
13. Serve and enjoy these delicious chocolate cream filled cookies!
