Ingredients
For the 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
For the 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
- Make the Brownie Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking soda until a thick batter forms. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each dough ball.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. - Make the Cookie Dough Buttercream:
In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk, and mix until smooth. Fold in mini chocolate chips. - Assemble the Sandwiches:
Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous amount of cookie dough buttercream on the flat side of one brownie cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Notes
Ensure the cookies are completely cool before assembling the sandwiches to prevent the buttercream from melting.
You can chill the sandwiches before serving for a firmer texture.
For variation, you can use different types of chocolate chips or add a chocolate drizzle to the top of the sandwiches.
