Q1: How do I make brownie cookie dough sandwich cookies from scratch?

To make brownie cookie dough sandwich cookies, bake soft, fudgy brownie cookies and pair them with a safe-to-eat edible cookie dough filling. Once cooled, sandwich two brownie cookies with a dollop of the dough in between. You can customize the filling with chocolate chips, peanut butter, or buttercream variations for different flavors.

Q2: What are the best ingredients for brownie cookie dough sandwich cookies?

The best ingredients include quality cocoa powder, real vanilla extract, mini chocolate chips, and heat-treated flour for the edible cookie dough. Use unsalted butter for both the brownie cookies and the filling to control salt levels. For richness, try adding a touch of espresso powder to the brownie batter.

Q3: Can I use buttercream instead of cookie dough as a filling?

Absolutely! A silky vanilla or chocolate buttercream makes a great alternative. You can also flavor it with peanut butter, espresso, or fruit extracts. For added inspiration, check out my variations in almond croissant cookie bars and chocolate mousse brownies .

Q4: Can I make brownie cookie dough sandwich cookies with peanut butter frosting?

Yes! Peanut butter frosting pairs beautifully with brownie cookies. Mix creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla, and milk to create a smooth, pipeable filling. It's one of my most requested combos — rich, sweet, and just a little salty.
