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 and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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 the mixture is smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined and glossy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until a thick batter forms. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly without overmixing.
- Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each ball about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each dough ball to promote even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and fudgy. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the buttercream.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Once the brownie cookies have completely cooled, spread a generous amount of cookie dough buttercream on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies to create all sandwiches.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are completely cooled before assembling to prevent melting the buttercream.
- For best results, use room temperature butter for making the buttercream to achieve a smooth texture.
- Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Allow refrigerated sandwiches to come to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
