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 prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and sugar until well combined, forming the wet base of your brownie cookies.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients carefully to avoid overmixing. Stir in chocolate chips if desired to add bursts of chocolate in each bite.
  4. Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft for a chewy texture. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Make Cookie Dough Filling: In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter with both brown and granulated sugars until fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until fully incorporated, then fold in chocolate chips for texture and flavor.
  7. Assemble Cookies: Once brownie cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of cookie dough filling on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another brownie cookie to form a sandwich, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Repeat: Continue assembling the sandwiches until all brownie cookies are filled with cookie dough.
  9. Chill (optional): For a firmer filling, refrigerate the assembled sandwich cookies for about 30 minutes prior to serving.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: These decadent brownie cookie dough sandwich cookies are now ready to be enjoyed as a rich, indulgent treat perfect for any occasion!

Notes

  • You can omit chocolate chips from the brownie batter if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Make sure the brownie cookies are completely cool before assembling to avoid melting the filling.
  • For an extra chocolatey experience, use dark or semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Refrigeration is optional but recommended for a firmer consistency of the filling.
  • Store the assembled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • To keep the cookie dough safe to eat raw, ensure the flour is heat-treated by microwaving it for 1 minute or baking at 350°F for 5 minutes before adding to the filling.
