Ingredients
For the cookies:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp salt
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
½ cup brown sugar
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 tbsp milk
For the fudge filling:
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
-
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Make the cookie dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in egg, vanilla, and milk. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
3️⃣ Scoop and shape: Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
4️⃣ Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes until set but still soft. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
5️⃣ Make the filling: Beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and cream. Beat until light and fluffy, adding more cream as needed for spreadable consistency.
6️⃣ Assemble: Once cookies are completely cool, spread filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another. Press gently to sandwich.
