Print Recipe

Delightful treats that combine the best of cookies and cake, filled with a creamy filling, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Beat until just combined.
  6. Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each scoop.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly underbaked.
  8. While the cookies cool, whip together softened butter and cream cheese (if using) with powdered sugar until smooth.
  9. Spread the filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie, flat side down.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your butter is at room temperature. Experiment with flavors by adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the dry ingredients or different flavored extracts to the filling.
