Common Questions About Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Can I Use Brown Sugar Instead of granulated Sugar?

Yes, brown sugar can add a deeper flavor and chewier texture to the cookies. Heck, try it both ways and compare the two. I’d be interested in seeing them side by side!

Keep in mind that brown sugar will perform a little differently than granulated sugar, so the cookies will not be the same as you see here.

Is It Okay to Use Margarine Instead of Butter?

Margarine can certainly be used as a substitute. However, I do have to say that butter is better, haha! Just like the sugar- margarine will create a different texture in the cookies. They may spread more or less and they could turn out more cake-like instead of chewy.

How Can I Ensure My Cookies Are Crisp?

Make sure to let them cool completely on a wire rack as this helps keep cookies from getting soggy. If that’s not quite enough to do the job, let the next batch cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Storage

This is one of those cookie recipes that everyone will remember. Not only are they soft and delicious, but they’re just plain fun. Chocolate lovers, unite!

Refrigerator

Keep filled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Freezer

Freeze the dough or baked cookies for longer storage. Thaw and enjoy whenever the craving hits!

How to Make Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

You’re going to love what the chocolate filling does to these. This is not your average cookie! Just follow the steps and you’ll see how easy it is.

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare large-rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 6 minutes.
4. Then add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until incorporated and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
5. Add the flour mixture to the batter and beat just until blended.
6. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until set on the sides and slightly crinkled across the top. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets. 
8. Once the cookies are cool, make the filling by beating the butter until creamy. 
9. Then slowly mix in the confectioner’s sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and salt. Once the dry ingredients are mostly incorporated, increase the speed and beat until whipped and creamy.
10. Transfer the filling into a piping bag with the end snipped. 
11. Pipe the filling onto a cookie. Then, place another cookie on top, twisting slightly to spread the filling to the edge.
12. Refrigerate the cookies until the filling has set.
