Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Butter softened
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups Marshmallow cream
  • 2 cups Confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Milk

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350º F (180º C). This is crucial as it ensures our cookies bake evenly. While the oven warms up, line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cocoa powder, and vegetable oil until the mixture is well-combined and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the dough, resulting in a light texture.
  3. Next, stir in the chocolate chips. They’ll melt slightly while baking, creating gooey pockets of chocolate within each cookie.
  4. Now, mix in the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt until everything is fully combined. You want a smooth dough without any lumps.
  5. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and creamy. This is where the magic happens, and your dough will start coming together beautifully.
  6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared sheet pan. Make sure to leave about 1 1/2 inches between each scoop to allow the cookies to spread while baking.
  7. Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for about 10 minutes. When they’re done, they should look slightly puffed and set at the edges. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. While the cookies cool, prepare your peppermint cream filling. In another bowl, cream together the marshmallow cream, confectioners' sugar, peppermint extract, and milk until it’s smooth and fluffy. This filling is what makes the Peppermint Cream Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches truly special.
  9. Once the cookies have cooled completely, scoop about 1 teaspoon of the cream filling and place it on the flat side of one cookie. Carefully top it with another cookie, pressing down gently to create a sandwich.
  10. Finally, serve the cookie sandwiches at room temperature. They’re perfect to enjoy with a warm cup of tea or coffee or on their own as a sweet treat!
