Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sandwich Cookies {Cookbook Giveaway}

I usually do all of the cookie baking in our house. Not because Josh never offers to bake cookies, but I usually don’t let him:) The controlling side of me comes out when cookies are involved. If he starts to bake cookies, I usually run into the kitchen and take over. I can’t help myself. I LOVE baking cookies. Josh never gets upset, he just hangouts in the kitchen with me and eats my cookie dough. I try to smack his hands out of the bowl, but he is sneaky! He always manages to eat a few big fingerfuls of cookie dough.

Josh loves cookie dough and I love cookies. These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sandwich Cookies are the best of both worlds. Two homemade chocolate chip cookies are stuffed with chocolate chip cookie dough. Genius! We both get our cookie fix with these delectable sandwich cookies.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sandwiches

Yield: 20-24 sandwiches

Two chocolate chip cookies are stuffed with eggless chocolate chip cookie dough. Cookie and cookie dough lovers will go crazy for these sandwich cookies.

Ingredients:

For Cookies:

3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips

For Cookie Dough:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugars until no lumps remain, 1-2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract, scraping the sides of the bowl to make sure all of the ingredients are incorporated. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and mix until smooth. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour or overnight.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll chilled dough into smooth, tablespoon-size balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Flatten balls slightly into 3/4-inch disks. Place disks about 2 inches apart on parchment or Silpat lined baking sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until cookie edges are slightly golden brown. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

3. To prepare the cookie dough filling, beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in flour, powdered sugar, and salt on low speed until incorporated. Slowly add heavy cream and vanilla extract and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in mini chocolate chips.

4. To assemble, sandwich 1 heaping tablespoon of filling between two cookies. Press cookies lightly until filling spreads to the edges. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Note: Sandwiches can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

    Cookie dough is my favorite! I’ll usually freeze some dough with the intention of baking it later but that never happens, I always end up eating it!

    Oh my gosh, this cookbook looks awesome! I am totally the dough queen around here, not just with cookies but I love eating any type of dough/batter — biscuits, pancakes, muffins, etc. Raw is usually better than baked.

    I actually have a small tupperware full of frozen cookie dough balls in my freezer right now that I stashed away the last time I made cookies. I have them hidden in back so my husband doesn’t find them!

    I think it depends on the recipe. I made some brown sugar cookies the other day and the dough was pretty rich, but I ate a ton of baked cookies… Then again when I make Toffee Chocolate Chip cookies I never seem to end up with the 4 dozen cookies it says it makes

    I like cookie dough better. Whenever I make cookies, I eat so much of the dough that I don’t even want cookies anymore by the time they’re baked!

    I’m a baked cookie lover. I’ve always been a little squeamish to eat more than just a lick of batter of anything with eggs in it. However, I am seeing a lot of eggless, meant to be eaten raw, dough recipes lately. I may have to experiment.

    I love cookie dough! I don’t bake because I will eat all the cookie dough before I can make the cookies.

    Sweet goodness, YES!!

    Linda H — May 30, 2012 @ 8:35 am

    I love soft cookies — baked not cookie dough.

    Jess :) — May 30, 2012 @ 8:36 am

    Cookie dough is a gift from the gods!! I always test out my dough before baking because if the dough is good the cookie will be great :)

    Sarah Q — May 30, 2012 @ 8:37 am

    Which do I like better? Who says I have to choose?! :) It’s like picking your favorite child!!!
    I guess if I HAD to choose, I’d say I like cookies better because nothing beats that warm, melted chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven :D
