Delight in these decadent Brownie Cookie Sandwiches filled with a creamy, chocolate chip-studded cookie dough buttercream. This recipe combines fudgy brownie-flavored cookies with a rich, sweet buttercream frosting for an irresistible treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cookie Dough Buttercream:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients for Brownie Cookies: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined to create a cohesive batter.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking soda, then gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick brownie cookie batter forms.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  6. Portion the Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each dough ball to promote even baking.
  7. Bake the Brownie Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set while the centers remain soft and chewy.
  8. Cool the Cookies: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which prevents sogginess.
  9. Prepare Cookie Dough Buttercream: In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth.
  10. Add Vanilla and Milk: Mix in vanilla extract and milk until the buttercream reaches a creamy consistency, suitable for spreading.
  11. Incorporate Mini Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly to add bursts of chocolate in the buttercream.
  12. Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the brownie cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous layer of the cookie dough buttercream on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with a second cookie. Repeat this process to assemble all sandwich cookies.

Notes

  • Do not overbake brownie cookies; the centers should stay soft for optimal texture.
  • Ensure cookies are fully cooled before spreading buttercream to prevent melting.
  • For a nutty twist, add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the buttercream.
  • Store sandwich cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
