Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs, room temperature
  
  

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
  

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  
  

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  
  

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
  

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
   
   

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
     
     

   • In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
     
     

   • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
     
     

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
     
     

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
     
     

   • Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
     
     

2. Shape and Bake the Cookies:
   
   

   • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
     
     

   • Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
     
     

   • Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
     
     

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
     
     

   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
     
     

3. Prepare the Filling:
   
   

   • In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
     
     

4. Assemble the Cookie Sandwiches:
   
   

   • Once the cookies have cooled, spread a generous amount of the filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
     
     

   • Top with another cookie, flat side down, to form a sandwich.
     
     

   • Press gently to spread the filling evenly.
