Deliciously Soft Blush Velvet Cookie Sandwiches

Blush velvet cookie sandwiches with creamy filling on a decorative plate, garnished with heart-shaped sprinkles.

These Blush Velvet Cookie Sandwiches are akin to a soft, rich red velvet cookie, but with a lovely pink twist. The flavor is subtly sweet with a hint of cocoa, perfectly complemented by a creamy vanilla filling that adds a luscious touch.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1-2 teaspoons red food coloring
1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (for filling, softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder; set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, milk, vanilla, and food coloring, mixing until well combined.
Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth and creamy.
Assemble: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of filling on the bottom of one cookie and top with another to form a sandwich.
