Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mocha cream filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread a thin layer of mocha cream filling on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie.
- Allow filled cookies to set for 15-20 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough – this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking.
- For extra richness, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
- Let cookies cool completely before adding mocha cream filling to prevent melting.
- If the mocha cream is too runny, chill it briefly in the refrigerator before spreading.
- For a professional touch, use a piping bag to apply the mocha cream filling evenly.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
