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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking thoroughly to combine.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until a thick batter forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
  4. Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading. Slightly flatten each dough ball with your fingers or a spatula.
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare Buttercream: For the cookie dough buttercream, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar in a large bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing well to combine.
  7. Add Mini Chips: Fold the mini chocolate chips into the buttercream evenly, ensuring an even distribution throughout the frosting.
  8. Assemble Sandwiches: Once the cookies have completely cooled, spread a generous amount of the cookie dough buttercream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies.

Notes

  • Ensure cookies are completely cooled before assembling to prevent the buttercream from melting.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate based on preference.
  • If the buttercream is too thick, add a bit more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Bring sandwiches to room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture.
