Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for buttercream)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for buttercream)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for buttercream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for buttercream)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for buttercream)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for buttercream)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract; whisk until fully combined.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking soda until a thick batter forms. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the cookie dough buttercream, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk; mix to combine.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of buttercream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
- You can chill the dough for 10–15 minutes if it feels too soft before baking.
- Store cookie sandwiches in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Let assembled sandwiches sit for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving if stored in the fridge.
