How to Make Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, and ¼ cup water.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  5. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until edges are set.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While cookies cool, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat together ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract at low speed until combined.
  12. Gradually add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until you reach your desired frosting consistency.
  13. Once cookies are completely cool, spread about 2 teaspoons of frosting onto the flat side of one cookie.
  14. Top with a second cookie, flat side down.
  15. Gently press together.
  16. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  17. Store well-wrapped or in an airtight container at room temperature.
