Chocolate Cream Wafer Cookie

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

2. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until smooth and well incorporated.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookie rounds.

7. Place the cookie rounds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until set. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

8. Prepare the chocolate cream filling by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Allow the chocolate cream filling to cool and thicken slightly.

9. Once the cookies are cooled and the chocolate cream filling has reached a spreadable consistency, assemble the cookies by spreading a dollop of the chocolate cream on the underside of one cookie and sandwiching it with another cookie.

10. Dust the assembled cookies with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.

11. Store the Chocolate Cream Wafer Cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy these decadent treats with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee!
