Instructions
Make the cookies:
- Using a stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add in the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Stir the mixture until it is well blended.
- Add in the Mounds bars and chocolate chips. Mix until combined.
- Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto greased baking sheets, making 36 cookies. Press mini chocolate chips into the top of the cookies (if desired) for a pretty look.
- Bake the cookies in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the buttercream:
- For the buttercream, put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip the butter on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the butter is almost white.
- Add the coconut extract and mix again.
- Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, to the butter mixture, mixing as you add the sugar.
- Add the heavy cream a tablespoon at a time until the buttercream is at the consistency that you'd like.
- Whip the frosting for 2-3 minutes until it is light and fluffy.
Assemble the cookie sandwiches:
- Spread the frosting on the bottom of a cooled cookie and top with another cookie.
- Store in an airtight container.
- This recipe makes 18 sandwich cookies.
