If your favorite childhood memory is of dunking chocolate sandwich cookies in a glass of cold milk, get ready to make some awesome new memories with our copycat recipe we call Homemade Chocolate Sandwich Cookies.
What You'll Need:
- CHOCOLATE WAFERS
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 egg
- CREAM FILLING
- 1/2 stick butter, softened
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
What To Do:
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, make chocolate wafers by mixing together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Beat in 1 stick of butter and the egg until dough comes together. (You may have to use your hands.) Drop 48 rounded teaspoons of dough onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten dough with fingers.
-
Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until cookies look set. Let cool.
-
In a medium bowl, make cream filling by combining 1/2 stick of butter and the shortening. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until filling is fluffy. Place a teaspoon of filling onto center of one chocolate wafer and lightly press another chocolate wafer on top until cream comes to edge. Repeat with remaining wafers.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Why not make a cream cheese filling for these. That sounds much better.
