Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 1/2 cup Dark Cocoa Powder Recommended to use Dutch-processed cocoa for deeper flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda Check freshness to prevent flat cookies.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Use all granulated sugar for a crunchier texture instead of brown sugar.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Substitution: Use vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder Optional: Can be omitted without losing much flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Essential for all baked goods.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, dark cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then set it aside. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough and roll into balls, flatten them slightly.
  4. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are firm. Let cool on sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. Prepare the filling by blending powdered sugar with butter or coconut cream until smooth. Spread filling on one cookie and sandwich with another.
