Description
Delicious brownie cookie sandwiches filled with creamy cookie dough frosting.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the cookie dough frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the cookie dough frosting by beating together the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cookie dough frosting on the bottom of one cookie and top it with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking for enhanced flavors and texture.
- Substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate chips or nuts for a different twist.
- Add sprinkles to the frosting for a festive touch.
