Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until well combined.
5. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough portion lightly with the bottom of a glass.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly firm to the touch.
7. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and well combined.
9. Allow the chocolate ganache to cool for about 10 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
10. Spread a generous amount of the chocolate ganache onto the bottom side of one cookie. Top it with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ganache.
11. Serve the chocolate sandwich cookies immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
