Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.
• Cut butter into Tablespoon-sized pieces and place in a large microwave-safe bowl.  
• Microwave in 15-second increments (stirring between) until butter is completely melted.
• Stir in cocoa powder until completely combined.
• Add sugar and stir well.
• Add eggs, vanilla extract, and water.  Stir well.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
• Scoop cookie dough by 1.5 Tbsp-sized scoops and drop by rounded spoonful onto prepared cookie sheet, placing cookie dough scoops at least 2 apart.
• Bake on 350F for 10-12 minutes.  Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet before filling.
• In a stand mixer, beat butter until well-creamed.
• Add 1 cup of sugar and cocoa powder.  Sprinkle in salt.  Stir until combined.
• Add 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream, stir well.
• Add another cup of sugar and stir, followed by 2 more Tablespoons of cream.  Repeat with remaining sugar and cream, and then stir in vanilla extract.
• Pair off your cooled cookies into sandwich pairs, and then generously spread or pipe frosting/filling onto the bottom of one cookie, sandwiching with the bottom of another, until all cookie pairs are filled.
• Melt chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions (or, if using milk chocolate chips and shortening, microwave chips and shortening at 15-second increments, stirring well in-between), until chocolate is completely melted.  
• Pour chocolate into small Ziploc bag and snip a small piece out of the corner.  
• Pipe melted chocolate over cookies.  Allow chocolate to harden before serving (melting wafers chocolate will harden much faster than chocolate chip/shortening chocolate).
