Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 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 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully blended to create a uniform base for your batter.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly throughout.
  6. Shape and Bake Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each dough ball to encourage even baking. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they are firm enough for sandwiching.
  8. Prepare Buttercream: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  9. Add Vanilla and Milk: Mix in vanilla extract and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk, beating until the buttercream is smooth and creamy.
  10. Fold in Mini Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the buttercream to add texture and chocolate bursts.
  11. Assemble Sandwiches: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cookie dough buttercream on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie on top. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Notes

  • You can make the buttercream ahead and refrigerate it; just bring it back to room temperature and re-whip before assembling.
  • For a nutty variation, add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the buttercream mixture.
  • Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before adding buttercream to prevent melting.
