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.

    I love cookie dough ever since i was a little kid–being a rascal, i remember stealing the dough when one of my older sisters would put it on top of the fridge i some how got up there. Now as a mom of three my kids and husband go crazy over it as well, oh the little things in life that bring such joy :) !!

    It sort of depends for me…I definetely like chocolate chip cookie dough more than the cookies, unless its my go-to recipe. But, I’m not a fan of oatmeal cookie dough. In that case, cookies surpass dough.

    Hannah — May 30, 2012 @ 8:37 am

    Baked, but still gooey!

    Hmmm. Do I really need to decide between the two? If so, cookie dough. :-)

    Bonnie — May 30, 2012 @ 8:38 am

    Definitely cookie dough – when I was a teen I would make batches of cookie dough when my parents were gone and just keep it in the fridge and munch away…….still love the dough and my kids do too!

    I love baked cookies the best….especially when they are right out of the oven with a cold glass of milk…mmmmmm good!

    Megan — May 30, 2012 @ 8:39 am

    I think it depends on which cookie I am making, usually I like the finished product better, but chocolate chip cookies are my exception – I prefer the dough!

    Lorna — May 30, 2012 @ 8:40 am

    Cookie dough! Mmm… Though warm cookies fresh out of the oven are also really tasty.

    I do love cookie dough and usually end up eating my fair share ;) , but you can’t beat the smell of warm cookies baking in the oven!

    Jen @ A Touch of Lovely — May 30, 2012 @ 8:42 am

    Oh man that sounds delicious!!!

    I don’t think I can pick which is my favorite! It totally depends on my mood. Cookie dough is one of the most delicious things ever, but sometimes you need that fresh-from-the-oven gooey-ness of a cookie. If I could have a little melted chocolate in my cookie dough, I’d be in heaven!

    Melissa — May 30, 2012 @ 8:42 am

    Baked because I love warm foods

    I’m definitely a baked cookie gal…but they have to be gooey, almost undercooked. :D These look fantastic!

    Summer — May 30, 2012 @ 8:44 am

    Both! How you can you not try the cookie dough when you’re making cookies?! And then how can you resist a hot cookie out of the oven. Both I say!!

    COOKIE DOUGH!!!! When I was younger, my brother and I would always sneak the dough from the fridge. My mother started counting how many dough squares (store-bought) were left so she could catch us!

    Claire — May 30, 2012 @ 8:58 am

    I totally go for cookie dough….unless the cookie is about 30 seconds out of the oven and not quite baked all the way through. YUM!

    Cookie dough!! We eat so much of it before it bakes that I’m never sure how many cookies my recipes are supposed to make!
