Chocolate-Dipped Sandwich Cookies are elegant chocolate-flavored cookies filled with creamy caramel or buttercream and dipped in melted chocolate—ideal for gifting or festive indulgence.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche, caramel spread, or buttercream (for filling)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk or dark chocolate (melted, for dipping)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for shine)
  • Optional: sea salt flakes, crushed nuts, or sprinkles (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, forming a smooth dough.
  6. Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into desired shapes. Chill for 10 minutes to prevent spreading.
  7. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Spread caramel or cream filling on the bottom of one cookie and top with another to form a sandwich.
  9. Dip half of each sandwich cookie into melted chocolate. Let excess drip off.
  10. Place dipped cookies on parchment paper and add optional toppings while chocolate is still wet.
  11. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or chill briefly until firm.

Notes

  • Use peanut butter or ganache for different fillings.
  • Dip the entire cookie for a richer treat.
  • White chocolate or candy melts offer colorful variation.
  • Add espresso powder or cinnamon to the dough for flavor depth.
  • Chill cut cookies before baking to prevent spreading.
