• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
9. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the chocolate filling. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream.
11. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
12. Allow the chocolate filling to cool for a few minutes.
13. Once the cookies have cooled, spoon a dollop of chocolate filling onto the bottom of one cookie.
14. Place another cookie on top, bottom-side down, to create a sandwich. Gently press together.
15. Repeat with the remaining cookies and chocolate filling.
16. Allow the chocolate filling to set by placing the filled cookies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
17. Serve and enjoy!
