Cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack and cool completely before adding the filling.
Filling
Heat whipping cream over medium heat until bubbles form.
Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate until smooth. Add butter and continue stirring for another 2 minutes.

The cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or can be frozen. Place parchment paper over top of the cookies if you are stacking them as the chocolate mixture does not completely harden.
