Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, and salt until well combined; this will ensure even distribution of flavors.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect texture!
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract until fully incorporated; this creates a rich batter that’s oh-so-delicious.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined; be careful not to overmix – we want those brownies chewy!
Bake Your Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft. Allow cooling before filling.
Create the Cookie Dough Buttercream: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with powdered sugar until creamy. Add vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips for that irresistible cookie dough flavor.
Assemble Your Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of cookie dough buttercream between two brownie cookies. Press gently together until the filling oozes out slightly – perfection!
These brownie cookie sandwiches with cookie dough buttercream will bring pure joy to your taste buds! Enjoy them fresh or store them in an airtight container (if they last that long!).
