Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1/4 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Add cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Gradually add flour and milk, stirring until you get a thick brownie batter consistency.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop a tablespoon of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make a small indentation in the center and fill it with about a teaspoon of brownie batter. Top with another tablespoon of cookie dough, sealing the brownie batter inside.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look a bit underbaked, but they’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent spreading.
