Cookies
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt Diamond Crystal
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ sticks butter cubed
- 1 egg
Filling
- ½ cup corn syrup
- ½ stick butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Cookies
Preheat the oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with non-stick foil.
In a food processor, blend flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugars.
Add a few cubes of butter at a time to the food processor and pulse. Continue until all the butter is added.
Add the egg and mix until the mixture forms a dough.
Scoop small balls of dough onto the lined baking sheet and flatten.
Bake for 10 minutes, then cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling
Combine corn syrup, butter, and vanilla, beating until smooth.
Slowly add powdered sugar until fully incorporated and creamy.
Pair similar sized cookies and spread filling on the bottom of one cookie from each pair. Press the bottom of the other cookie onto the cream to form a sandwich.
If you like the cream filling extra gooey like it is inside a Cadbury egg, use less powdered sugar, and if you want it to be sturdier, more like an Oreo filling, use more powdered sugar.
These cookies are dark in color so it's difficult to see when they are done. Because they're thin, be cautious not to burn them.
