Preparing the Dough
- Soften the butter to room temperature.
- If in a hurry, microwave the butter for about 10-15 seconds until slightly soft.
Mixing the Sugars and Butter

- Avoid overmixing; it should be fluffy but not airy.
Adding the Eggs and Vanilla
- Add eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract.
- Mix until creamy, resembling frosting.
Incorporating Dry Ingredients
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix on low until just combined.
Chilling the Dough
- Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Making the Filling
- Cream together softened butter, powdered sugar, flour, and vanilla until creamy.
Baking the Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop.
- Bake until cookies look slightly puffy, then cool before transferring to a wire rack.
Assembling the Sandwich Cookies
- Once cookies are completely cool, add a generous amount of filling to one cookie and top with another.
