Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until cookies are glossy and crackled. Let cool completely.
For the whipped cream, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
For the berry compote, heat mixed berries, lemon juice, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then cool.
To assemble, spread or pipe whipped cream onto the flat side of one cookie, spoon some berry compote over the cream, and sandwich with another cookie.

Notes

Make sure cookies are fully cooled before assembling to prevent whipped cream from melting.
Use stabilized whipped cream or mascarpone for a firmer filling if storing longer.
Store assembled cookies in the refrigerator and consume within 1–2 days for best texture.
Berry compote can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
