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.

    Isn’t baking cookies the excuse to eat cookie dough? Definitely am a big fan of cookie dough :-) More than cookies :-) )

    Wow that is a good question. I always heard that cookie dough was bad for you which was a great tragedy! I compromised, a very diplomatic thing to do, and decided to like really soft, gooey, chewy, fall apart in your hands, still warm cookies :D

    Hayley — June 2, 2012 @ 1:43 am

    Yummy! These look awesome. And cookie dough wins this round, but don’t underestimate my serious love affair for freshly baked, warm, slightly crispy, slightly chewy cookies, either. Cookie dough only wins by a margin :)

    Oh gawd. These look devilishly good!

    I like fresh out of the oven slightly under baked soft gooey cookies :)

    Cookie Dough! My mom’s chocolate chip cookies had no eggs so that was a plus growing up. I’m not going to lie though – I would even dip a finger in for the creamed sugar and butter.

    I absolutely LOVE cookie dough! No baked cookie can amount up to how delicious and satisfying chocolate chip cookie dough tastes. I can never just take “one” spoonful (as I tell my son to do) or only lick the beater at the end- I find many excuses to do (large) taste tests through out the mixing process :)

    I love both! I have been making cookie dough since I was 4 or 5 and received an Easy Bake Oven. It was a challenge to make sure there was some of the dough left to actually ‘bake’ :-) Cookie dough is my favorite while I am making the cookies – - then the baked cookies become my favorite after they are cooked!

    Ryleigh Novakovich — June 2, 2012 @ 7:03 pm

    While watching foodnetwork one day, I heard Chef Geoffrey Zakarian say ‘If it’s good raw then it will be good baked.’ I love it!! I almost always would rather eat a spoon full of dough! But a fresh baked cookie is in a close second place. :)
