Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate frosting or filling
Black icing for decoration
Candy eyes for decoration

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble Cookies: Once cooled, spread a layer of chocolate frosting on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
Decorate: Use black icing to create cat ears and whiskers, and place candy eyes on top for a fun finishing touch.
