Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later on. In one bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and sugar.
Melt Butter and Combine Ingredients: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat until completely liquefied. Pour melted butter into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well until combined.
Add in Eggs and Flour: Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Gently fold in flour until just combined—don’t overmix!
Bake Your Brownies: Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but center remains slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
Make the Cookie Dough Frosting: In another bowl, beat together softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk while mixing until desired consistency is achieved.
Add Chocolate Chips and Vanilla Extract: Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla extract into the frosting mixture until evenly distributed.
Assemble Your Sandwiches!: Once brownies are completely cool, cut them into squares. Spread a generous layer of cookie dough buttercream between two brownie squares to create your sandwich masterpiece!
Enjoy these indulgent Brownie Cookie Sandwiches with friends or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here!
