Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Filling
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
Optional
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for rolling the edges)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Make cookie dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them through the dough.
- Bake cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Assemble sandwiches: After the cookies have cooled, spread a generous amount of vanilla frosting on the bottom side of one cookie. Place another cookie on top, bottom side down, and gently press together to form a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies and frosting.
- Optional decoration: For an extra special touch, roll the edges of the assembled cookie sandwiches in mini chocolate chips to coat the frosting edges.
- Serve and enjoy: Your Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches are now ready to be served. Enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container for later indulgence.
Notes
- Make sure cookies are completely cool before assembling to prevent frosting from melting.
- You can substitute vanilla frosting with cream cheese frosting for a tangier flavor.
- Store cookie sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake by reducing baking time by 1-2 minutes.
- Adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients can add a warm flavor twist.
