12 - Semi-sweet chocolate chips 170 grams

13 - Vegetable oil 15 milliliters

# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Beat the butter and sugar together on medium with a mixer until fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.

02 - Add eggs one by one, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla till blended.

03 - In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix this into the wet mix on low speed until just blended to keep it soft.

04 - Wrap the dough and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

05 - Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla using a hand mixer till you see stiff peaks, 3 to 5 minutes. Don’t whip too much or it’ll break.

06 - Heat oven to 175°C and line two trays with parchment paper.

07 - Put spoonfuls of dough on the sheets about 5 cm apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges turn lightly golden.

08 - Leave cookies on the tray for 5 minutes then move to a rack until fully cool.

09 - Melt chocolate and oil in a microwave bowl, heating for 30 seconds at a time and stirring in between until smooth, around 1 to 2 minutes total. Let it cool a bit.

10 - Spread plenty of whipped cream on one cookie's flat side and press another cookie on top to spread it out evenly.

11 - Drizzle or dip the cookie sandwiches in the slightly cooled chocolate glaze to finish off.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Start with butter and eggs at room temp for the best mix. Chilling dough helps keep cookies from getting too flat. Mix just enough so cookies stay soft. Watch the cream while whipping so it doesn’t separate.
