# Ingredient List:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Cream Filling

09 - 1 cup heavy cream
10 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Chocolate Glaze

12 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
13 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
02 - Add eggs one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
04 - Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
05 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
06 - In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overwhip.
07 - Transfer the cream filling to the refrigerator to maintain its structure until use.
08 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
09 - Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and centers appear just underbaked.
10 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Let cool slightly before use.
12 - Spread a generous dollop of whipped cream filling on the flat side of one cookie. Top with a second cookie, flat side down, and gently press to spread the filling to the edges. Repeat with remaining cookies.
13 - Drizzle or dip assembled sandwich cookies in chocolate glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place glazed cookies on a wire rack to set.
