Instructions
Chocolate Cookies
- In a small mixing bowl, combine Simple Truth flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, cream Simple Truth butter and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in egg and vanilla, then gradually add dry ingredients and mix until dough forms.
- Gather dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and flatten. Chill 1 hour.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out onto a floured surface. Dough should be approx. 1/8 inch thick.
- Use cookie cutters to cut into 36 cookies. (*I used a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter. Number of cookies may vary based on cookie cutter size.)
- Place cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes.
- Cool 10 minutes on baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Strawberry Creme Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter and cream cheese. Mix until blended and creamy.
- Puree strawberries; blend puree into butter mixture.
- Add powdered sugar, a little bit at a time, until you reach desired consistency. (I used all 4 cups.)
- Chill filling 1 hour or until firm. Spread filling generously inside 2 chocolate sugar cookies. Scrape edges as needed.
- Melt chocolate chips; drizzle over sandwich cookies and top with candy sprinkles.
