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.

both. this is why I must try these cookies.
Cookie dough. No question.
Oh my gosh, what a hard question!! I absolutely LOVE both! But… I think I’ll have to lean a little more towards the cookie dough itself
Baked cookies that are a little doughy still.
Warm, fresh cookies. I snag one off of every baking sheet that comes out of the oven when I bake. It’s not a healthy habit, but I don’t care!
Definitely cookie dough!
Oh these look so so sinful!
I would much rather eat the dough! Those tubs of dough that you’re supposed to bake into cookies – never make it to the oven at my house! I would love a copy of this cookbook!
I prefer cookies baked.
I’m not really a cookie fan (blasphemy, I know!). But I could eat cookie dough all day – and most of the night.
I love the dough for a treat, but melt-in-your-mouth warm cookies are hard to top.
Def love cookie dough the best!
I like baked cookies better but I do like stealing a few bites of the dough off the spoon before washing.
Book looks exciting!
Cookie dough. No question!
cookie dough – if it is chocolate chip or similar…if it is molasses (my other fav), definitely the cookie as I love the crunch after adding the sugar!
Depends on the mood and the outside temperature. During the winter, it is hard to beat a fresh baked cookie with a mug of hot chocolate…with whipped cream!
I love to eat the cookie dough the best! But warm cookies- slightly cooled, straight from the oven..are a close second! It’s all good!
Cookie Dough is where it is at!
A few years back I probably would’ve said cookie dough, and not that I don’t love it now too, but I think overall nothing can beat a warm, straight-from-the-oven homemade cookie. That, you know, is soft enough to still taste something like the dough in the center anyway….
Baked!!
I love cookie dough. Especially in baked cookies – I like the centers to be a little doughy! )
I love cookie dough the best! But this sounds delicious : ) Cookie dough and the lovely meltiness of fresh cookies
Cookie Dough – I could always burn a cookie – cookie dough is always perfect.
I LOVE nice chewy cookies! The dough’s great, but just not the same as a cookie with a big cup of hot coffee.
I would say soft baked cookies are my preference. I find baking very relaxing.
It’s a tough call, but I think cookie dough
Cookie dough! Yum! But together, these will be awesome!
Cookie dough!!
I like baked cookie dough much better, unless it’s in ice cream.
thanks!!!
I definitely prefer cookie dough
Yumm yumm to cookie dough!!! It’s soft gooeyness is delightful. But the baked good is just as yummy right out the oven.
I love them both but i think i would have to say i like cookie dough better than baked cookies
I’m all about the cookie dough! I try bake more than I eat but that time between batches is TOUGH.
Fresh, warm, out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies! Brownie batter is my favorite batter.
Since I am not a fan of raw eggs I am a baked cookie girl
I’d happily eat both–so this is the perfect recipe for me! Can’t wait to try it.
My family are chocolate chip cookie dough nuts!! This would be a perfect addition for our family tastebuds!
I like baked cookies better.
I would much rather eat several spoonfuls of cookie dough than the baked cookies themselves! When I was little I would always make cookies with my friends during sleepovers and we would share bowls of dough before any baking happened!
I’m a big fan of both, but baked cookies would be my favorite!
