Provided by Eddie Jackson

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 15 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon gingerbread spice
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch kosher salt
Clear or white sanding sugar, for decorating
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup spiced shortbread cookie butter spread, such as Lotus Biscoff Smooth Cookie Butter Spread
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the gingerbread cookies: Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the molasses, vanilla and egg until smooth and combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, gingerbread spice, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. With the electric mixer on low, gradually add the dry mix into the wet until just combined.
  • Using a 3/4-ounce cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet into uniform balls (you should have about 30 balls, each about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough). Sprinkle generously with sanding sugar. Refrigerate until chilled through, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
  • Transfer the chilled dough balls to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake until the tops are matte and the cookies puff slightly and are just set at the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the cookie butter filling: Beat the butter, cookie butter spread and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy and thoroughly combined, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup at a time, beating until combined and smooth. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  • Flip half the cookies over and evenly pipe on the cookie butter filling, then sandwich with the remaining cookies to make 15 cookie sandwiches. Refrigerate until the filling is just set, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

If there's one thing you can never have too many of, it's cookie recipes. And while we have nothing against a basic oatmeal raisin or sugar cookie, sometimes you just want to make something a bit more special. For that, there are these stuffed chocolate chip cookies. Imagine: Your favorite chocolate chip cookie stuffed with anything from caramel to peanut butter and topped with potato chips, pretzels, marshmallows, and sprinkles galore.

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk chocolate chips
½ cup mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon caramel, per cooking
1 tablespoon cookie butter, per cookie
1 tablespoon chocolate hazelnut spread, per cookie
1 tablespoon peanut butter, per cookie
¼ cup mini marshmallows
¼ cup chocolate caramel candy, chopped
¼ cup chocolate chips
¼ cup chocolate sandwich cookie, crushed
¼ cup white chocolate chip
¾ cup rainbow sprinkles
¼ cup pretzel, crushed
¼ cup potato chip, crushed

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and toast for about 5 minutes until it turns brown and smells nutty. Pour the brown butter into a large bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes to cool before starting to make the dough.
  • To the bowl with the cooled butter, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and yogurt. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add the egg and egg yolk and beat again until fluffy and well-combined.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift ⅓ of the dry ingredients at a time into the wet ingredients. Beat just until incorporated, then scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula between each addition. Make sure not to overmix.
  • Add the chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips to the dough and gently fold just to incorporate. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. You can also store the stuffings in the fridge so they're easier to work with later.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet (or 2) with parchment paper.
  • Using an ice cream scooper, scoop out 3 tablespoons of chilled dough and flatten out into a ¼-inch (6 mm) thick circle.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of your stuffing of choice, such as caramel, cookie butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, or peanut butter, to the center of the dough round, and fold the edges of the dough around the stuffing. Seal tightly and roll into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough and stuffings.
  • To the outside of the cookie dough balls, add your choice of toppings, such as mini marshmallows, chopped candy bar, chocolate chips, crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, white chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles, pretzel pieces, or crushed potato chips. Press the toppings firmly into the dough, so they don't fall off. Repeat with the remaining stuffed cookie dough balls.
  • Place the stuffed and decorated cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet approximately 3 inches (7 cm) apart, so the cookies don't spread into one another. You may need to use 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake for 11-14 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and evenly spread.
  • Cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before devouring!
  • Enjoy!
