Ingredients
Brownie Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Cookie Dough Filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Cookie Dough: 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 and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Bake the Brownie Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Cookie Dough Filling: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract and gradually add the flour, stirring until fully incorporated. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Sandwich Cookies: Once the brownie cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cookie dough filling on the bottom of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately or refrigerate for a firmer filling. These cookies are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the brownie cookies are completely cooled before assembling to prevent the filling from melting.
- For a firmer filling, refrigerate the assembled sandwiches for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking while baking.
- The cookie dough filling is made with raw flour; to reduce risk, you can heat-treat the flour before use.
- Mini chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped nuts or regular chocolate chips based on preference.
