Directions:

1. To Make the Wafers: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into small, round wafer shapes using a cookie cutter or glass.
6. Place the wafers onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
7. To Make the Cream Filling: In a bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, and beat until light and fluffy. Adjust the cream to reach the desired consistency.
8. Once the wafers are cooled, spread or pipe a generous amount of cream onto one wafer, then top with another wafer to create a sandwich.
9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
