\"\"I have made these luscious brownie bite cookies without filling and cut out in many different shapes.\u00a0 The recipe was from the blog cookbook by Deb Perlman “The Smitten Kitchen”.\u00a0 Since\u00a0Valentines Day is approaching I cut out hearts.\u00a0 Then I noticed the cover of Martha Stewart magazine covered in a variety of colorful sandwich cookies.\u00a0 I took the brownie cookie recipe and filled them with Martha’s cream filling.\u00a0 It\u2019s a wonderful treat to make for family or to drop off for friends. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BROWNIE COOKIE INGREDIENTS:
\n\u2022 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for counter
\n\u2022 2\/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
\n\u2022 \u00be teaspoon table salt
\n\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon baking powder
\n\u2022 16 tablespoons butter, softened
\n\u2022 1 \u00bd cups sugar
\n\u2022 2 large eggs
\n\u2022 1 teaspoon vanilla<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BROWNIE COOKIE DIRECTIONS:
\n\u2022 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.\u00a0 Whisk the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl, and set aside.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until fluffy.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl.\u00a0 Mix in vanilla.\u00a0 Gradually mix in the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Roll out the cookie dough on a floured counter.\u00a0 Cut into desires shapes, brushing extra deposits of flour off the top.\u00a0 (It does disappear once baked, though; so don\u2019t overly fret if they go into the oven looking white.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 8 to 11 minutes (the former for 1\/8-inch thick cookies, the latter for 1\/4-inch cookies), until the edges are firm and the centers are slightly soft and puffed.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Transfer to a wire rack to cool.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CREAM FILLNG INGREDIENTS:
\n\u2022 \u00bd stick unsalted butter, softened
\n\u2022 1-1\/2 cups confectioners\u2019 sugar
\n\u2022 \u00bc cup granulated sugar
\n\u2022 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
\n\u2022 1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk, if needed<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CREAM FILLING DIRECTIONS:
\n\u2022 Beat butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reduce speed to low, and gradually add sugars, beating until thoroughly combined.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Beat in vanilla.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If filling is too thick to spread, beat in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until spreadable.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Build the sandwiches with one cookie on bottom, cream filling in the middle, and another cookie on top.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOTE: You can sprinkle powdered sugar on cookies or just leave them as is.\u00a0 If you make a big batch you can always wrap a few up for gifts!<\/p>\n
