Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for icing)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for icing)
- 4 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk into the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the gobs are puffed and set. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the gobs cool, prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl, beat the powdered sugar and softened butter until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, beating until the icing reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency.
Once the gobs are completely cool, spread a dollop of icing onto the flat side of one gob and sandwich it with another gob, flat sides together.
Repeat with the remaining gobs and icing. Serve and enjoy!
