As I am on a diet, I plan to eat one cookie as a meal replacement for dinner each night.
Beverly Hills Chocolate Sandwich Cookie
Makes about 2 dozen cookies
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (2 sticks) butter
2 cups (1 pound) sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon (12 ounces) flour
cup plus 2 tablespoons (2.4 ounces) cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Beat in the vanilla.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
3. Beat in the dry ingredients, a spoonful at a time, until incorporated to form the cookie dough. Scrape the bowl partway through to make sure the ingredients are fully mixed. Cover and refrigerate the dough until chilled.
4. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized pieces, and place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly, and bake each sheet until the cookies are set, 10 to 12 minutes.
5. Remove and cool before filling. This makes about 5 dozen individual cookies.
Filling and assembly
1 cups butter
6 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plus teaspoon water
1 teaspoon salt
Cooled cookies
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a medium bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, water and salt. Scoop 1 generous tablespoon of filling onto one cookie, then top with a second, pressing together until the filling comes to the edge. Repeat to make 2 dozen sandwich cookies. You might have a little frosting left over after filling the sandwiches; any extra frosting will keep for 1 week, covered and refrigerated.
