Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Fold in crushed sandwich cookies.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

- Add melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla extract; beat until silky.
- Add heavy cream and whip 2–3 minutes until light and airy.
- Pipe or spoon filling onto cooled cookies.

- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are fully cooled before adding filling.
