Is the Cookie dough safe to eat?
Yes! There are no eggs in the cookie dough frosting which make it perfectly safe to eat and there is no need to bake it. It is also so tasty that you will want to eat it by the spoonful, if you do try (and I highly suggest it) don’t tell anyone or you will run out of cookie dough filling.
If you have concerns about the raw flour, spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 350°F to bake it. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before using.
Tips for Making this Recipe
Let the cookies cool completely. It is important the cookies are cooled completely before they are filled with frosting.
Make them fancy. While these cookies are extremely easy to throw together, you can also take them up a notch. simply, use a star tip on your piping bag and you can add the buttercream using the tip. This will make a fancy looking design that will make these cookies look like something that you could buy at the bakery, only better.
Space the cookies on the baking sheet. Space out the cookies when you put them on the baking sheet. It is important that you leave room on the baking sheet between the cookies when you put them on the tray.
Don’t remove the cookies from the tray too quickly. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet. Then have them cool completely on a baking rack.
Measure Exacts. I know some may thing this goes with out saying but when you are baking chocolate chip cookies it is VERY important to be sure to follow the ingredient measurement exactly.
My BEST Cookie tip for making cookies is to get a cookie scoop – seriously it makes scooping the cookie dough so much easier and then you end up with that perfect cookie shape!
Variations of this recipe
Roll cookies in toppings. I like to roll mine in mini chocolate chips but you can also use chocolate sprinkles, rainbow sprinkles, mini M&Ms, or Reese’s pieces. You can even use holiday sprinkles to decorate them and make them holiday themed.
Change out the filling. I have made so many delicious frosting recipes that will go great with these cookies. Pair it with this cookie recipe, or combine it with the other flavor of cookies. Some of my favorite frosting recipes to use with these cookies and cream cookie sandwiches are Peanut Butter Cookie Frosting, Bakery Style Mocha Buttercream Frosting, or Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting Recipe.
Add nuts to the brownie cookies. You can add walnuts, pecans, or peanuts if you want to. Add 1/2 cup to 1 cup depending on how much you like nuts. Be sure to just fold it in at the end of making the cookie brownie mix and before you scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheets.
Add chocolate chips or chocolate chunksto the brownie cookies. If you want to have chunks of chocolate in your brownie cookies you totally can add 1 cup of white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, to the cookie brownie batter. Be sure to just fold it in at the end of making the batter and before you scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheets.
Add Chocolate Candies to the brownie cookies. If you want to add more fun you can totally add some M&Ms or Reece’s piece to the brownie mix. Keep it to about 1 cup of add-ins when you are making the cookies.
How to Store Cookie Sandwiches
These brownie sandwich cookies need to be refrigerated so you will want to store them in an airtight container or freezer bag and in the fridge.
