Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Granulated Sugar: This sweet ingredient adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the cocoa.
  • Brown Sugar: Use light brown sugar for chewiness and extra moisture in your brownie mixture.
  • All-Purpose Flour: The backbone of both layers; make sure to spoon it into your measuring cup gently.
  • Butter: Melted butter lends richness and helps create that melt-in-your-mouth texture we all crave.
  • Eggs: They bind everything together; go for large eggs at room temperature for best results.
  • Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla elevates both flavors; use pure extract if you can!
  • Mini Chocolate Chips: These little gems add bursts of chocolate in both layers; you can never have too many!
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is the secret weapon for creating that irresistible cookie dough filling.
  • Confectioners’ Sugar: For sweetness in the cookie dough; sift it before adding for a lump-free filling.

Let’s Make it Together

Create the Brownie Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan with nonstick spray. In a mixing bowl, stir together melted butter with granulated sugar until combined.

Add Cocoa and Eggs: Mix in cocoa powder and brown sugar until smooth. Then beat in eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in all-purpose flour along with mini chocolate chips until just combined—don’t overmix, or you’ll lose that fudgy texture!

Bake Your Brownies: Pour this heavenly batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out slightly moist but not wet.

Create Cookie Dough Filling: While brownies are cooling down, mix softened butter with sweetened condensed milk and confectioners’ sugar until creamy. Stir in mini chocolate chips.

Assemble Your Cookies: Once brownies cool completely, cut them into squares. Spread a generous layer of cookie dough on half of them before topping with another brownie square like a delicious sandwich.

And there you have it—the ultimate indulgence! Don’t forget to let those sandwiches chill in the fridge briefly before serving so they hold their shape better while enjoying every bite.

These brownie cookie dough sandwich cookies are not just desserts; they’re moments waiting to happen—so grab your ingredients and get baking!
