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.

There is really no need to debate…cookie dough is WAY better!
Cookie dough!
I prefer baked cookies since I don’t know any better
Definitely like cookies better (as long as they are soft and chewy) Yummmm!
I like cookie dough better, but can eat more if it is baked!
Cooikie dough for sure! There is a place not too far from my house that sells raw cookie dought by the scoopful – and it is my favorite decadent treat for sure. perhaps this is why I need to lose 20 lbs? ah – who cares – delicious!
Cookie dough! Especially in ice cream
I love them both so much… who can really choose! But if I have to choose, probably cookie dough because who doesn’t like instant gratification!
Frighteningly I used to eat the refridgerated cookie dough right outta the tube…in quantity. This looks like a healthy and safe alternative. Will make today – perfect for an after school snack with some sliced apples or strawberries.
Baked cookies!
Which do I like better? Don’t make me choose! But under pressure, I think I’d pick cookies!
cookie dough ftw!
well, stolen waters are always sweeter…I always feel guilty when I snitch raw batter…but in moderate amounts the cookie dough would have to be my pick
I like baked cookie dough, but I love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream best!
I like baked cookies better. Especially when the center is gooey and the edges are crispy!
I like baked cookies better! My hunny and step daughter like the cookie dough!
That’s a tough one ! Before they are baked, the dough is the best. After they are baked I love them too ! I am so confused !!
I actually am a bigger fan of the finished cookies than of the dough! But I always taste the dough before baking because if the cookie dough is good then the cookies will be good!
Uhh… yes? I think it depends on the cookie recipe. Slightly underbaked cookies provide the best of both worlds!
I’m with Josh, I’m all about the cookie dough! Though I wouldn’t turn down one of your homemade cookies either!
Am I allowed to say both? I love both cookie dough and fresh baked still warm from the oven chocolate chip cookies.
That is such a hard decision but I will have to go with cookie dough. Of course the cookies are delicious also but I would rather eat the dough, it is just that you usually aren’t suppose to eat the dough. This is a great recipe for both worlds.
Wow, those look amazing! Thanks for the book giveaway!
I like cookie dough better!!
AMAZING recipe!!
We are a split family. I love baked cookies and my husband loves the cookie dough. It always seems when I bake cookies that he eats more of the dough than I get cookies.

I love them baked, but my entire family is obsessed with cookie dough! Love your blog!
ahh that’s a tough one! can i say i like them both equally?? i dont disriminate! haha chocolate chip cookies are my favorite cookie ever though!
Yes! I mean both!
Okay.. I guess a warm cookie right out of the oven does it for me.
I like baked cookies, but anythihng that’s cookie dough flavored is good by me!!!
Do I have to choose? I love both!
Mmmmmsounds yummy!:) who doesn’t love cookie dough?!
Cookie dough. Confession time…Sometimes I say I am going to make cookies but it is just a ploy for the dough.
I love to make cookies because I love eating the dough. I eat it until I feel sick:)
Cookie dough!!
It’s so hard because I love them both in different ways buuut….I mean…c’mon. Cookie dough!!!
Cookie dough!!!
Personally, I like baked cookies better. But my hubby is a cookie dough fanatic!
Hard to make the choice but I think I like the baked cookies better.
Half the fun of making cookies is eating the dough. But for me it definitely depends on what type of cookie I’m making. I cannot resist sticking my fingers in chocolate chip, peanut butter, or monster cookie dough.
Cookie dough for sure
