1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup unsalted Simple Truth butter, *at room temperature
1 1/4 cups Simple Truth sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions
Chocolate Cookies
In a small mixing bowl, combine Simple Truth flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, cream Simple Truth butter and sugar until smooth.
Beat in egg and vanilla, then gradually add dry ingredients and mix until dough forms.
Gather dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and flatten. Chill 1 hour.
Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out onto a floured surface. Dough should be approx. 1/8 inch thick.
Use cookie cutters to cut into 36 cookies. (*I used a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter. Number of cookies may vary based on cookie cutter size.)
Place cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes.
Cool 10 minutes on baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Strawberry Creme Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter and cream cheese. Mix until blended and creamy.
Puree strawberries; blend puree into butter mixture.
Add powdered sugar, a little bit at a time, until you reach desired consistency. (I used all 4 cups.)
Chill filling 1 hour or until firm. Spread filling generously inside 2 chocolate sugar cookies. Scrape edges as needed.
Melt chocolate chips; drizzle over sandwich cookies and top with candy sprinkles.
