Description
The ultimate indulgence, featuring two soft, brownie-like chocolate cookies held together by a rich and velvety peanut butter filling. Dipped in dark melting chocolate and topped with sprinkles, these sandwich cookies perfectly balance deep cocoa intensity with a classic salty-sweet charm.
Ingredients
For the Fudgy Cookies
- 2 cups (340g) semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk, 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp salt
For the Filling & Shell
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, 4 tbsp softened butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1.5 tsp vanilla, 2–5 tbsp milk
- 10 oz dark melting chocolate wafers, sprinkles
Instructions
Melt & Mix: Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt chocolate chips and butter in 30-sec increments. Stir in sugars, eggs, yolk, and vanilla.
Combine Dry: Whisk flour, cocoa, cornstarch, leavening, and salt. Gradually stir into wet chocolate mixture.
Bake: Drop 2-tsp scoops onto parchment-lined sheets. Bake 8–10 mins. Cool completely.
Whip Filling: Beat peanut butter and softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk by the tablespoon until pipeable.
Assemble: Pipe filling onto one cookie, top with another. Melt wafers and dip each sandwich halfway. Top with sprinkles immediately.
Notes
Bakery Finish: Use a piping bag with a large round tip for the filling to create a uniform ‘scalloped’ look.
The Extra Yolk: The additional yolk provides essential fats for a brownie-like texture, preventing the cookies from drying out.
Melting Wafers vs. Chips: Wafers are tempered for a professional shine and snap. If using chips for dipping, add 1 tsp of shortening to improve the flow and finish.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days to keep the filling firm.
