Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs Room temperature for best results.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Can substitute with almond extract.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Fillings

  • 1 cup chocolate frosting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your creamed mixture, blending until it just comes together.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
Assembly
  1. Once the cookies are cool, scoop out a bit of the center from each cookie and fill it with a spoonful of prepared vanilla pudding.
  2. Top each cookie with a generous spoonful of chocolate frosting.
  3. Let the frosting set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

To make these cookies vegan-friendly, use a dairy-free butter alternative. Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
