Ingredients

For the chocolate cookies:

  • 10 ounces Ghirardelli 60% Cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips (1 bag)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the strawberry filling:

  • 1/2 cup diced strawberries
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick) room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar sifted

Instructions

For the chocolate cookies:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the sugar, eggs and vanilla until combined. Add the melted chocolate, flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix until well blended.
  • Refrigerate dough for about 25 minutes, or until firm enough to scoop or form balls (the dough doesn't have to be hard, just firm enough to scoop into balls). Using a 1-1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto lined baking sheet and bake for 11-12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the strawberry filling:

  • Puree strawberries in a food processor. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds; set aside. Beat the butter, cream cheese and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time and mix until combined. Add strawberry puree and mix until smooth.
  • Sandwich filling between chocolate cookies and garnish with sprinkles, as desired.

Notes

  • Store these cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
