Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Butter (softened)
  • 1 3/4 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Shortening
  • 3/4 cup Marshmallow Cream
  • 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon Milk

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling rack
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
  2. Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
    Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in the vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Baking Sheet
    Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
  6. Step 6: Bake the Cookies
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. Remove them from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  7. Step 7: Make the Cream Filling
    In a clean mixing bowl, combine the marshmallow cream, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth and well combined. Adjust the consistency with additional milk if needed.
  8. Step 8: Assemble the Cookies
    Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cream filling on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
  9. Step 9: Enjoy!
    Your Chocolate Cookies with Cream Filling are now ready to be devoured. Serve them fresh or store them for later!

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
  • Do not overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the middle when you remove them.
  • For extra chocolate flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before adding the cream filling to prevent it from melting.
