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 line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking the brownie cookies.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the batter is fully combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda gradually until you form a thick batter. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra chocolate bursts.
  4. Portion and Shape Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball to ensure even baking.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft to keep the chewy texture. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Make Cookie Dough Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and powdered sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing thoroughly to combine.
  7. Add Mini Chocolate Chips: Fold the mini chocolate chips into the buttercream evenly to incorporate little bursts of chocolate in the filling.
  8. Assemble Sandwiches: Once the cookies have cooled completely, 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 for delicious brownie cookie sandwiches.

Notes

  • For best results, allow cookies to cool completely before assembling to prevent buttercream melting.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to your preference.
  • To store, keep sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • Butter should be at room temperature and softened for the buttercream to achieve a smooth and fluffy consistency.
  • If you prefer, the brownie cookies can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container until ready to assemble.
