Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Cookies

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

Cookie Dough Filling

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking the brownie cookies.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt to combine all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a consistent batter forms. Stir in the optional chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for extra chocolate flavor.
  4. Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft. Once baked, allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Make Cookie Dough Filling: In a clean bowl, cream together the softened butter with both the brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy and light. Mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until fully incorporated into the dough. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Assemble Cookies: Once the brownie cookies are completely cooled, take one brownie cookie and spread a generous layer of the cookie dough filling on its flat side. Top it with another brownie cookie to form a sandwich.
  8. Repeat: Continue assembling all brownie cookies into sandwich cookies by repeating the spreading and stacking process until all cookies are filled.
  9. Chill (optional): For a firmer filling that holds shape better, refrigerate the assembled sandwich cookies for about 30 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: These decadent Brownie Cookie Dough Sandwich Cookies are now ready to be enjoyed as a delicious dessert or sweet snack.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the brownie cookies to cool completely before assembling to prevent the filling from melting.
  • If desired, the chocolate chips in both the brownie cookies and filling can be omitted or substituted with nuts or other mix-ins.
  • Refrigeration is optional but recommended if you prefer a firmer cookie dough filling texture.
  • All-purpose flour is used both in the cookies and the filling; ensure it is heat-treated if you plan to consume the filling raw.
  • You can double the filling ingredients if you like a thicker layer inside your cookie sandwiches.
