Ingredients

For the Cookies
  • ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
For the Frosting
  • 2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 4 Tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-4 Tablespoons coffee hot

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla and mix until just combined. Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until a soft dough has formed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  3. Drop the dough by tablespoon, or use a cookie scoop, 2 inches apart onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
  4. Prepare the frosting. In a small microwavable safe bowl, heat the butter and chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, cook again for another 15 seconds. Continue heating the chocolate for 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until completely melted.
  5. Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and the coffee (or cream) until smooth. If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If the frosting is too thick, add more liquid.
  6. Spread 1 teaspoon of chocolate frosting on one side of a cookie and top with remaining cookies.
  7. Store covered at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

  • Coffee brings out the flavor of chocolate. Don't want to use it? You can substitute with heavy cream or milk.
  • Pro Tip: When the cookies come out of the oven, use a spatula to lightly tap the edges of the cookies and push them into a perfect circular shape. This will help them look pretty when sandwiched with another cookie.
