Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together 1½ cups cake flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt; set aside.
-
Step 2.
Using an electric mixer, beat ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (at room temperature), ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in 1 large egg, followed by ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in 4 ounces roughly chopped bittersweet chocolate and 4 ounces roughly chopped semisweet chocolate.
-
Step 3.
Scoop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten tops slightly with your hands and freeze for 10 minutes.
-
Step 4.
While the dough chills, heat the oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies, rotating the positions of the baking sheets after 5 minutes, until cookies are puffed and edges are beginning to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes total. Let cookies cool completely on a cooling rack.
-
Step 5.
While the cookies cool, prepare the chocolate frosting: Using an electric mixer, beat ¾ cup unsalted butter (at room temperature), 2 cups confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt in a large bowl on low speed until almost combined, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 4 ounces semisweet chocolate (melted and cooled) and 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (melted and cooled). Increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
-
Step 6.
Assemble sandwiches: Spread chocolate frosting onto the bottom of half the cookies, then top with remaining cookies.
