Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Use a cookie scoop or two tablespoons to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling
- While the cookies cool, prepare the filling by mixing the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, softened butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread filling on one cookie and sandwich with another.

Notes
For a fun twist, consider mixing in dark chocolate chips or chunks into the dough. Adjust baking time based on cookie size and oven variability. Store cookies properly in an airtight container or freeze for up to three months.
