• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
• To make the filling, beat the cream cheese and confectioner' sugar together until smooth. Spread between two cooled cookies.

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract. With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined; it will still be a bit crumbly. Pour the mixture onto a work surface and give it a few kneads to bring it all together. Divide in half, shape into flat discs, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for an hour (or up to two days).
• Dust your surface and the top of the dough with plenty of cocoa powder. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out 2 1/2-inch rounds. Transfer them to the baking sheets, 1 inch apart (using a small offset spatula helps with this step). Re-roll the scraps and cut out more rounds.
• Bake the cookies until the tops are no longer shiny, about 20 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the filling: With a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter, powdered sugar and salt until combined. Fill a piping bag with the filling. Place half of the cookies on a plate or work surface. Pipe a blob of filling onto the tops of each of these cookies and then place another cookie on top, pressing slightly. Refrigerate for a few minutes to allow the filling to firm up. Enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Steps:

• Cookies: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. With the machine running, gradually add the flour mixture until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Using a 1-ounce ice cream or cookie scoop, form 12 equal-sized pieces of dough onto each baking sheet. With damp hands, form the dough into balls. Flatten the tops of the dough slightly and bake until the tops of the cookies begin to crack slightly, about 14 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Filling: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and vanilla together until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Color the frosting by mixing in the food coloring, 1 drop of at a time, until the desired color is reached. Add water, if needed, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, to make the consistency spreadable.
• Spread the frosting on the flat side of half of the cookies and put the remaining cookies on top. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the filling to stiffen slightly. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla; beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 batches, beating after each, until just incorporated. Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; form into disks. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Make the filling: Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour over the chocolate in a medium bowl and let stand 2 minutes; stir until smooth. Set aside.
• Working with 1 disk at a time, roll out the dough between floured sheets of parchment paper until about 1/8 inch thick; chill 15 minutes. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Cut out circles with a 2-inch cutter; transfer to the baking sheets. Gather the scraps and refrigerate until firm; reroll once to cut out more cookies. Chill the cutouts 30 minutes.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until just golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Briefly beat the filling with a mixer on medium-high speed until thick, 30 seconds. Chill until cold, about 1 hour. Sandwich between the cookies and roll the edges in sprinkles.

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, the baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat 1 stick butter and the granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; form into flat rectangles. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll out the dough into a 10-inch square (1/8 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 1-by-2 1/2-inch rectangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets; prick with a fork and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Chill until firm, 15 minutes. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are firm, 13 to 16 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
• Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth; let cool. Add the remaining 1/2 stick butter; beat with a rubber spatula until incorporated. Mix in the remaining 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Sandwich between the cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Blend the above ingredients together with a pastry blender until mixed.
• Roll in balls about the size of a quarter and place on ungreased baking sheets. Make an even number of balls.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Let cookies stand on cookie sheet for 5-6 minutes before removing them to cooling rack. After cookies have cooled, put Cream Cheese Frosting (see recipe or use one can of pre-made frosting) between two cookies, putting bottom sides together.
• NOTE: Adding chopped pecans to the cookies without making them into sandwiches is also very good. Spice cake mix can be used in place of Devil's food.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine brown sugar, 3/4 cup butter, and water in a heavy 3-quart saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted (3 to 4 minutes).
• Add chocolate chips; cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and smooth (1-2 minutes).
• Remove from heat.
• Beat in eggs, one at a time, until mixture is smooth.
• Stir in all remaining cookie ingredients.
• Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 6-8 minutes or until set.
• Let stand 1 minute before removing from cookie sheets, and cool completely.
• Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients EXCEPT milk in a large mixing bowl.
• Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often.
• Gradually add enough milk to reach desired spreading consistency.
• Spread about 2 teaspoons of frosting onto flat side of one cookie; top with second cookie, flat side down.
• Gently squeeze together.
• Repeat with remaining cookies.
• Store well-wrapped, or in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Line baking sheets with parchment paper; lightly coat with cooking spray. Whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture, beating to combine. Divide dough in half; form into disks, and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days. (Dough can be frozen up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before using.)
• Working with one disk at a time, roll out dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a 1 1/2-inch square biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out shapes, transferring to prepared sheets (1 inch apart) as you work. Chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes. Brush off excess flour. Gather together scraps; roll, chill, and cut out more shapes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are firm, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cookies, on parchment, to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Spread a small amount of filling on the bottom of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies; gently press to adhere.

Steps:

• Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375 degrees.
• In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix all dry ingredients for the cookies. On low speed, or while pulsing the processor, add the butter, and then the egg.
• Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass. It will be a very stiff, very dry dough; this is what it's supposed to look like.
• Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. With moistened hands, slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. The cookies will look puffy; that's okay. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool and thump them slightly to make the cookies "deflate" (or press them down with the back of a spoon).
• To make the filling, place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl and, at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2-3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
• To assemble the cookies, pipe a blob of cream into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie, equal in size to the first, on top of the cream. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie ingredients.
• Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls (ping pong ball-size) and place on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Make sure you have an even number of cookies. Smash the balls down just a bit.
• Bake for about 7-8 minutes. Take them out of the oven when the tops have cracked a little.
• Let them sit on the hot cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
• Make the filling: With a mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese. Add the vanilla (or peppermint extract and green food coloring, if using). Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
• Frost the underside of a cookie and place another cookie on top.
• Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottom and side of 8-inch round pan with shortening; lightly flour. In medium bowl, beat flour, sugar, baking soda, butter, water, chocolate and egg with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in broken cookies. Spread in pan.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Cut cake horizontally in half. Place bottom layer on serving plate. Spread with frosting. Top with remaining layer.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until chocolate can be stirred smooth and is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle chocolate over top of cake. Sprinkle with coarsely broken cookies.
