Soft chocolate chip cookies encase a silky chocolate buttercream making these Chocolate Chip Sandwich Cookies a tasty and irresistible dessert that you can’t stop eating.
Cookies are one of those things that I’ve always been in love with. Chocolate Chip Cookies even more than most, who doesn’t like a classic chocolate chip cookie?
Well, how about taking a twist and adding chocolate buttercream to the center and making Chocolate Chip Sandwich Cookies? Seriously…
We cannot get enough of these. They are super flavorful, soft and just one of those desserts that we can’t put down. As you can see by the post earlier in the week, we love sandwich cookies.
We make these Chocolate Chip version in different flavors with different buttercreams, but my all-time favorite has to be the chocolate, I can never get enough chocolate.
The cookies in this recipe are fluffy and soft, one of my favorite kinds of chocolate chip cookies. If you give me a crunchy chocolate chip cookie I’ll say get outta here!
But these are literally the perfect pairing, everything is so light and the flavors together are not overly sweet and just mesh well and work!

You can even roll the edges of the frosting in sprinkles amping up the flavor and look of these as well!
