Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Cookie Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk again until the mixture is fully blended.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda into the wet mixture until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix. Then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  4. Portion and Shape: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. Slightly flatten each dough ball with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set while the centers remain soft. After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing until fully combined to create the buttercream frosting.
  7. Add Mini Chocolate Chips: Fold mini chocolate chips into the buttercream evenly to mimic cookie dough pieces throughout the frosting.
  8. Assemble Sandwiches: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cookie dough buttercream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies to make all the sandwiches.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cookies are completely cool before assembling with buttercream to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark or milk chocolate based on preference.
  • Store the sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Bring refrigerated sandwiches to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a firmer buttercream, refrigerate it for 30 minutes before assembly.
