Ingredients

For the Cookie Base:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

For the French Silk Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs (pasteurized, if available)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings or curls

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Base
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet until combined. Scoop dough into large balls, place on a baking sheet, and slightly flatten the centers to form shallow wells. Bake for 10–12 minutes, then cool completely.
  2. Prepare the French Silk Filling
    Beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add cooled melted chocolate and beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating several minutes after each addition until silky and airy. Stir in vanilla extract. Chill filling for at least 30 minutes before piping.
  3. Assemble the Cookies
    Spoon or pipe the French silk filling into the cooled cookie wells. Top with a swirl of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or curls.
  4. Chill & Serve
    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the filling.
