Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Beat together the butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy for the mint filling.
  10. Stir in peppermint extract and any desired food coloring, mixing until well combined.
  11. Spread the mint filling on half the cooled cookies and sandwich with the remaining cookies.
  12. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.
