Ingredients
Brownie Layers
- 1 box brownie mix (about 18 oz), prepared according to package instructions
Cookie Dough Filling
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Additional
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional for extra filling or layering)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Layers: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, then pour the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a thin even layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
- Make Cookie Dough Filling: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until combined. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up for easier handling.
- Assemble Sandwich Cookies: Once the brownie layers are cool, cut them into uniform squares or desired shapes. Take a portion of chilled cookie dough and sandwich it between two brownie pieces. Optionally press a few extra chocolate chips into the filling for extra gooeyness. Repeat until all are assembled.
Notes
- You can use store-bought edible cookie dough to save time.
- Chilling the cookie dough helps prevent it from becoming too soft and messy while assembling.
- For extra richness, add a layer of melted chocolate between the brownie and cookie dough layers if desired.
- Store these sandwich cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the cookie dough firm.
