Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine dark chocolate chips and butter pieces in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well, microwave for another 15 seconds and then stir well again. Repeat for 15 seconds until chocolate and butter are completely melted and well-combined.
- Set aside and allow to cool (about 10 minutes). Meanwhile, whisk together flour, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine eggs, egg white, sugar, and vanilla extract and gently stir together.
- Gradually turn stand mixer up to high speed and whisk for three minutes (mixture will be slightly lighter and thicker).
- Add chocolate to mixture and use a spatula to stir together until evenly combined.
- Stir in flour mixture (do not overmix).
- Drop cookie dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing at least 2" apart.
- Bake on 350F (177C) for 10-12 minutes (tops should be set).
- Allow cookies to cool completely before removing from cookie sheets and filling.
Vanilla Cream
- Beat softened butter with an electric mixer until creamed. Gradually add sugar until completely combined.
- Beat in milk until frosting is smooth and silky
- Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Use a spatula to scrape the frosting into a piping bag (I used one fitted with a Wilton 2D tip, but just using a Ziploc bag with a hole snipped out of one corner would work as well) and set aide.
Chocolate Espresso Frosting
- (you can use the scraped-clean bowl you just used for the vanilla frosting -- save a dish!)
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips at 15 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until chips are completely melted. Set aside and allow to cool slightly (about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally).
- Cream room temperature butter with an electric mixer. Stir in slightly cooled chocolate and beat well.
- Gradually add sugar, scraping down the sides and bottom of bowl occasionally.
- Sprinkle in espresso powder, salt and vanilla extract, stir well.
- Gradually add heavy cream, increase speed to high and beat for 1 minute.
- Spoon into a piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off)
- Pair off your cooled chocolate cookies so each cookie has a mate. Pipe a circle of vanilla frosting on the bottom of one cookie, fill the circle with piped chocolate espresso frosting.
- Top with another cookie and serve!
