Delicious chocolate chip cookie sandwiches made with soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies and a creamy vanilla frosting filling. Perfect for a sweet treat or dessert.
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually beat in the flour mixture until combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat 1/2 cup softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
Add heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until light and fluffy.
Once cookies are completely cooled, spread about 1 tablespoon of frosting on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
