- 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour

Vanilla Cream Filling
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
directions
- Cookies:.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- While mixing on low speed, add the butter, then the egg. Beat or process until the dough is thoroughly blended and massed together.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto parchment-lined cookie sheets at 2-inch intervals. With moistened fingers, round out the cookies and flatten them a little.
- Bake for 9 minutes, turning the pans once for even baking, until the cookies are set. Sit the cookie sheets on a rack to cool.
- Vanilla Cream Filling:.
- Put the butter and shortening in a mixing bowl and, at low speed, gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla, until blended.
- Turn the mixer speed to high and beat for 2-3 minutes more, until fluffy.
- To assemble, place teaspoon size blobs of filling onto the tops of half of the cookies. Keeping the smooth bottoms of the cookies facing up, flip the remaining cookies on top of the filling and lightly press to form sandwiches.

I became a foodie when I went on my first ever diet. (:
I can't cook very well, because I'm always too afraid of hot oil burning me, but I love baking!
Hence you'd notice that all my recipes (and all the recipes I've saved into my cookbook) involve baking.
I hope to be able to make fantastic baked rice someday, and am always on the lookout for HEALTHY LOW-CALORIE recipes! (:
Oh, and if you know of any low-calorie indian recipes (I love Indian food, but it seems like they're all very oily and unhealthy..) do share them with me!
