**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup gluten-free 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
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
6. Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet, then flatten it with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to about 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cookies have cooled completely, sift the powdered sugar over the tops of half of the cookies.
9. Spread a generous amount of your favorite filling, such as chocolate ganache, whipped cream, or frosting, onto the bottoms of the remaining cookies.
10. Sandwich the powdered sugar-dusted cookies on top of the filling-covered cookies to create the chocolate sandwich cookies.
11. Serve and enjoy your delightful Gluten-Free Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with a glass of milk or a hot cup of tea for a truly satisfying treat!
