Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

  • 4 oz unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg room temp
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened dutch cocoa powder
  • 1 cup flour
  • pinch of salt

Strawberry buttercream:

  • 4 oz unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered confectioners sugar
  • 2 tbsp freeze dried strawberry powder
  • pinch of salt

Chocolate coating:

  • 4 oz good dark chocolate like Lindt, Ghirardelli, etc
  • 4 oz good milk chocolate

Instructions
 

For the cookies:

  • Cream the butter and sugar in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until pale and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl, add the egg and vanilla, and beat again until it is well mixed.
  • Add the cocoa powder and beat well. Scrape down the bowl and add the flour and salt. Mix until just incorporated and finish mixing by hand. The dough will be very soft.
  • Turn the dough onto parchment paper and top with another piece of parchment and flatten it out a bit. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough between the parchment layers to about 1/4 inch thick. Place on the back of a sheet pan and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 and remove dough from the freezer. Using a pastry wheel and ruler, cut into 24 rectangles (about 1.5x2.5 inches each). Separate the rectangles on parchment lined baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes or until they appear slightly puffed and cooked. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

For the buttercream:

  • Cream the butter until soft, add the strawberry powder and sugar and beat until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed.

For the coating:

  • Break the chocolate into small pieces and microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring between each, until it is melted. Do not overheat.

To assemble:

  • Spread a heaping tsp of filling onto half the cookies and top with other other half. Place into freezer for 30 minutes. Dip the cookies by hand into the melted chocolate. Reheat chocolate as needed to keep a good consistency for dipping. Place on parchment lined baking sheets to fully set up. Chill in the fridge if needed to set the chocolate.
