Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cookie Dough Buttercream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a rich, glossy mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until the batter thickens. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for bursts of chocolate.
- Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Slightly flatten each dough ball to shape.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and fudgy. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make Cookie Dough Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in Mini Chocolate Chips: Gently fold mini chocolate chips into the buttercream frosting to distribute them evenly throughout.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cookie dough buttercream onto the flat side of one brownie cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich and repeat with the remaining cookies.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are fully cooled before adding buttercream to prevent melting.
- Use room temperature butter for the buttercream to achieve a smooth texture.
- Adjust baking time slightly if making smaller or larger cookies.
- Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- Allow refrigerated sandwiches to come to room temperature before serving for optimal texture.
