Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Bob's Red Mill 1 To 1 Gluten Free Flour
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
Buttercream Filling
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoon shortening
  • 1 ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper.
  2. Using a stand mixer beat the butter and sugar together until soft and creamy. Add 1 egg yolk, cocoa powder, and vanilla and continue to mix.
  3. In a separate bowl whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.  
  4. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until just combined and a dough forms.
  5. Scoop dough with a mini ice cream scoop about 2 teaspoon and roll into a ball.  Place on cookie sheet and press the center down with your thumb.
  6. Cook for 7 minutes.  They may not seem done but I like mine undercooked a bit.  Gently press the center down again with your thumb to make sure you have a good indentation.  Let cool before removing from sheet.
Buttercream Filling
    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix all buttercream ingredients together in a stand mixer.  Put icing into a piping bag or use a big ziploc with the corner tip cut off.  Pipe a small amount of icing in center of cooled cookies.  Top with sprinkles.
