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 chipsFor 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 chipsDirections:
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.

Welcome to Two Peas and Their Pod. We share a love of cooking, baking, and entertaining. We enjoy creating recipes that are simple, fresh, and family friendly. Join us in our culinary adventures-our kitchen is always open! 
Raw cookie dough, for sure! In college, my girlfriends and I would get together once a week. We would cook dinner together, sit around talking, drinking wine. Someone always brought cookie dough to bake up for dessert, but week after week the dough never made it to the oven- we broke it open and ate it with our fingers, spoons, whatever worked. Wine and cookie dough became a tradition in our circle and at my wedding 3 summers ago, my girlfriends surprised me with cookie dough for us to eat at the reception. Another one of us will get married this summer and I plan to bring along cookie dough for us to dine on! What could be better than cookie dough in a wedding dress?!
Cookie Dough!
Maria, the grown up in me says “but of COURSE I cook each and every one to beautiful perfection.” The truthful NOT SO grown up part of me says “I’m lucky if 3 actually make it to the oven!” Besides, don’t cookie dough balls have fewer calories than the cooked ones??? ;D
Cookie dough. No question.
I am torn between the two. When making cookies I eat a fair amount of the dough and eat the majority of the baked cookies… But I think I would have to go with the dough being the absolute best part. Nothing tastes quite like it.
tough one but probably fresh baked cookies that are still warm and gooey…love it!
I suppose for me it’s somewhere in between. Sometimes I way love the dough better, but if the dough yields a soft, melt in your mouth baked cookie….I am all over that!
I’m more of a cookie dough gal, but I love a good baked cookie as long as it is still soft and gooey so it retains some of that “dough”ness.
Freshly made cookie dough is my favorite, but cookies still warm from the oven with a glass of cold milk are pretty awesome, too.
baked cookies are the way to go!
It’s a big toss-up… I probably prefer baked. I usually bake mine a little less, though, so the middles are chewy. I love soft cookies!
Both–I love to eat the dough then eat the cookies warm!! Nothing better!
Baked cookies!!!
Sorta both! I like them when they’re warm out of the oven and not quite completely baked. Yummm!
YUM!! Cookie dough is the best!!
Oh most definitely cookie dough! just brings back warm gooey memories of stealing finger full of dough when mom was not looking! oh the sinful Delicious-ness!
I have always loved my cookie dough raw. I mean, don’t get me wrong…who doesn’t love a fresh baked cookie with a tall, cold, glass of milk… but something comical happens with eating the dough raw. I’m pretty sure for me it reminds me of being a kid and my mom yelling at me to not eat it raw as a slipper comes flying at my head. I duck just in time around a corner, full spoon of dough in hand, running for my life as the “blue boomerang” misses my head by mili-seconds. Now, being all grown up (well, not much taller I admit) I still eat it uncooked with a spoon, leaning against my own kitchen counter and smirk to myself…cause I CAN eat it my way now… all with the familiar “woosh” sound echoing through a long lost (sometimes painful when connection was made) memory. BTW, Mom still yells at me for it. Thankfully, she has lost some of the sharp shooter skills in her right arm….
Cookie dough of course!
I like to nibble on cookie dough but the baked cookies are the best!
I love Baked Cookies but enjoy snacking on the cookie dough while waiting for the cookies baking in the oven.
Baked cookies for sure! I love them when the chocolate is gooey.
I prefer just baked and out of the oven choc chip cookies. Yum… makes me want to bake some
I like it cooked better but my daughter loves the dough
Baked cookies for me!
Cookie dough for sure!
Baked cookies….of every kind!!!
i prefer the cookie dough
I like baked cookies, but a lot of the time I am too impatient to wait for the finished product!
Cookie dough!
Cookie dough FTW!!!!
i don’t think i can pick. it’s a tie!
Cookie Dough is the answer! In college I used to buy a tub of it premade at the store when I didn’t have anything to do or had a rought time studying (probably the cause of my freshman 15)
I’m a lover of both cookies and cookie dough. I love the dough but can only eat so much at one sitting before it’s time to move on to a nice warm fresh cookie! Unless you give me oatmeal cookie dough, then maybe I’m more of a cookie dough fan!!

I’m not one to turn down either, but if I had to choose only one it’d be cookie dough. Can’t wait to make these, the best of both worlds!
Cookie Dough is the bes…. Wait… you can bake the cookie dough???
I like the unbaked cookie dough better! Even brownie and cake batter is better for it is cooked!
All about the dough!
I personally like baked cookies better. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE cookie dough, but something about that warm chocolate chip cookie, with the crisp edges and soft middle, ughh, nothing beats it.
I like the chocolate chip cookie dough better. It is a bit of rebelliousness factor mixed with the taste pleasure. The dough is sweeter and the sticky texture is such a pleasure. Mixing the 2 would be a great idea. I just may have to make ice cream with cookie pieces and dough together now. Oooooh!
