How to Make Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Featuring just 3 ingredients, including refrigerated Pillsbury™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, these brownie filled chocolate chip cookies couldn’t be more simple to prepare. The detailed recipe directions are below, but here’s a recap of just how easy it is to prep these craveable cookies.
Make the Filling
Crumble your prepared brownies into a bowl, then add softened cream cheese. Mix until thoroughly combined, and the white cream cheese is no longer visible. Then roll the gooey, chocolatey mixture into 8 evenly sized balls.
Prep Your Dough
Cut the cookie dough into 16 slices. Flatten each slice and wrap two slices around each brownie ball, sealing the edges to form a larger ball. Make sure the edges are sealed tight to ensure none of that delicious chocolatey goodness leaks out during baking. Place the assembled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pressing down slightly. Space the dough balls at least 2 inches apart as the cookies will spread while baking.
Time to Bake
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a 350°F oven, until the cookies turn golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes first, then transfer to a wire rack for another 20 minutes before serving.
There you have it! Just 3 ingredients and 3 steps to bake the perfect brownie filled chocolate chip cookie combo. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool!
Storing Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
These yummy brownie filled cookies are fantastic when they’re fresh, but they’re just as tasty when you save a few for later! When left unrefrigerated in an airtight container, your brownie stuffed cookies will stay fresh for 3 to 4 days, making them perfect for snacking throughout the week. If you refrigerate them, they can last up to a week, but you may notice they are slightly firmer when they’re right out of the fridge.
For longer storage, these brownie stuffed chocolate chip cookies freeze beautifully! Just place fully baked and cooled cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container, ensuring they’re well-sealed to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw the cookies at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes for that fresh-baked taste!
If you want to freeze the dough, portion it into balls and flash freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring them to a bag. Your cookie dough will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake, just thaw for one to two hours in the refrigerator before placing in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
