Ingredients
Cookies
- 125 g butter
- 180 g sugar
- 150 g flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
Filling
- 60 g butter
- 250 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 180°
- In a large bowl mix the butter and the sugar first until the mixture gets pale and fluffy.
- Then add the vanilla extract and the egg and mix again until you get an even dough.
- Now you can add the flour, the baking powder and the cocoa powder. Mix until the dough gets an even dark brown color.
- Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into balls, and place onto a baking sheet.
- Try to flatten the cookies as much as possible. The cookies should have the same size as you will fill the vanilla cream in between.
- Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.
- Repeat until the entire dough is gone.
Filling
- To make the cream put the softened butter into a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in the icing sugar and vanilla extract.
- After the cookies cooled down fill the cream into a pastry bag (round tip) and pipe teaspoon-size blobs of cream into the center of one cookie.
- Now lightly press another cookie to the first in order to evenly work the filling to the outsides of the cookie.
