Ingredients

Cookies

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter room temp
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg(s)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips + more to stick on top

Filling

1/2 cup unsalted butter room temp
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Sandwich Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Keep aside.
In the bowl of stand mixer add the butter, both the sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat them together on medium-high till the mixture turns creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the egg and mix until combined.
Add in the dry mixture in batches and mix until just combined and dough is formed.
Add the chocolate chips and fold gently. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least an hour.
Scoop about 1 tbsp of cookie dough and roll it into balls and flatten them a bit using your palms. Place them on the prepared pan keeping at least 2-inch gap between each cookie. Press a few mini chocolate chips on top.
Bake in a preheated oven for at least 10-12 mins.
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes in the baking tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cookie Filling

In a bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter until it's light and creamy.
Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar (in batches). Beat until you get a smooth and fluffy consistency (5-6 min).
Fill a piping bag with the prepared frosting and attach a star-tip (or any other) nozzle. Pipe the frosting onto the flat side of one cookie.
Place another cookie on top, flat side down. Press gently to make a sandwich.
Add more chocolate chips on the side of the frosting.

Notes

Optional: If you would like the cookies perfectly round, use a round cookie cutter. As soon as they come out of the oven, swirl it around each cookie for a nice, round shape.
