Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Filling
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
Optional
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for rolling the edges)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Make Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until mixture is fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Bake Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Once cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of vanilla frosting on the bottom side of one cookie. Place a second cookie on top, bottom side down, and gently press together to form a sandwich.
- Add Optional Finishing Touch: For an extra special treat, roll the edges of the assembled sandwiches in mini chocolate chips to coat the frosting edges.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delicious cookie sandwiches immediately or store airtight to enjoy later. These treats are perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a sweet snack.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are completely cooled before assembling to prevent the frosting from melting.
- You can substitute chocolate chips for other mix-ins like nuts or white chocolate chips.
- Store assembled cookie sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and dairy-free frosting alternatives.
- Rolling the edges in mini chocolate chips is optional but adds extra texture and flavor.
