Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temp
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Cookie Dough Frosting:

  • 16 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup microwaved all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powder sugar
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place melted butter in a medium bowl. Add both sugars and mix on low speed till smooth. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract till combine. Mix flour, baking soda and salt salt together and slowly mix in flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix in chocolate chips.

  3. Chill the Dough:
  4. Using a medium ice-cream scooper, scoop 20 balls into a large Pyrex and chill for 20 min.

  5. Make the Frosting:
  6. While cookies chill make the frosting. Beat butter till fluffy. Add in brown sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and salt. Continue to beat for about 8 min. Microwave flour in a small bowl for 90 secs. This heat treats the flour. Pour flour into mixture, with powder sugar and beat for another 3 min till smooth. Place in piping bag and put in the fridge.

  7. Bake the Cookies:
  8. Take the cookies out of the fridge or freezer and place on two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Bake for 18 min. Check at 15 min and max baking for 20 min. Half way thru baking I press down the cookie with a back of a measuring cup to flatten them. Then let them cool for 15-20 minutes. Pipe cookie dough frosting on a bottom of a cookie and place another cookie on top.

Notes

  • You can customize the frosting by adding different mix-ins like nuts or sprinkles.
  • Store the assembled cookie sandwiches in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
