Christmas cookies at their best. I love this hot chocolate sandwich cookie recipe and so do the kids! It tastes just like a baked cup of hot chocolate and boy is it yummy.

Double Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

I used a store-bought chocolate icing but you can easily make your own or sandwich marshmallow fluff in between 2 cookies. Our family loves everything chocolate so that was the way we went but you can easily switch it up!

Hot chocolate sandwich cookies

Ingredients

5 TBSP butter, unsalted

¼ cup cocoa powder

3 eggs

1-1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1 TBSP vegetable oil

½ cup flour

1 tsp vanilla

¾ cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

Filling

Chocolate buttercream icing

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Line baking sheets with silicon mats and set aside.

In a small saucepan, heat butter and cocoa over a low heat. Stir frequently so it does not burn.

Remove from heat once combined.

In the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment beat the eggs, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Add the vanilla and oil and combine.

Add the flour and baking powder.

Pour in the chocolate mixture and combine together.

Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.

Using a spatula, mix up the batter.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop batter out onto prepared pans and cook about 10-12minutes.

Cool completely before filling with butter cream frosting. (I used store-bought) but you can make your own.

Another delicious addition to your cookie trays this holiday season or really anytime during the year. I love having cookies on hand for when we have company because people will tend to have one or two instead of a slice of cake.
