HOW TO MAKE IT :
FILLING
- Mix together all ingredients until smooth and well blended. Refrigerate while you make the cookies.
COOKIES
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar together.
- Mix in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, chocolate extract, egg and cocoa powder.
- Mix in about 1/3 of the flour and then follow with 1/3 of the milk. Continue alternating flour and milk until all is mixed. The dough will be thick.
- Use a large cookie scoop to drop dough onto the parchment paper. Leave ample space for the cookies to spread (they will be about 3″ wide).
- Bake for 10 – 12 minutes. The top should be springy like a cake. Cool on racks.
- Spread about 1 inch of filling on the flat side of the bottom cookie. Top with another cookie. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat for the remaining cookies.
NOTES :
If you use a medium scoop, bake only for 5-7 minutes. If you see cracks in the tops, add a few tablespoons of milk to the batter.
