Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for custard)

Chocolate Drizzle Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, blend in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Drop Dough onto Baking Sheet: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

Baking and Assembly

  • Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookies are set but still soft.
  • Make the Custard: While the cookies cool, whisk together the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a bowl until thick. Add the vanilla extract for flavor.
  • Construct the Sandwiches: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of custard on the bottom side of one cookie and place another cookie on top.
  • Add the Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the milk chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of each cookie sandwich.
  • Let Set: Allow the chocolate to cool and set before serving.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. Keep chocolate drizzle separate to avoid melting.
