They look innocent enough from the outside… but break them open and OMG, the gooey cookie dough smooshes out and you will probably die on the spot. Then you will come back to life real quick to finish the cookie. Because these are so ridiculous in the most epic way possible. Actually the first time I made them I shared this little video on Instagram and facebook and you guys seemed pretty excited about getting your hands on the recipe. So basically you peer pressured me into making them again (to test that this was in fact real life). Oh the calories I consume for you guys. Honestly, though, the idea for these cookie dough stuffed cookies cam from sheer boredom-cravings. Which are 100% a real thing.
How do you make cookie dough stuffed cookies?
I happened to have some egg-free cookie dough in my freezer…because I have cookie dough issues. And thought, why not re-purpose that dough? Somehow eating an actually cookie seems less desperate than eating cookie dough. I don’t make the rules. So I decided to roll that egg-free cookie dough into little balls… Meanwhile I just made a simple, thick cookie dough. This dough will seem a tad “drier” than regular cookie dough, because you don’t want it to spread very much. When the egg-free dough is completely frozen, wrap the other dough around it in a thin-ish layer… And roll it into a ball shape… As soon as they came out of the oven I placed a few more chips on top to make them pretty… And since I couldn’t wait for them to cool I took a bite. I can’t even describe how good these are. Flipping ridiculous. Of course when they cool they won’t be quite as gooey, but the centers will remain soft and they’ll become the cookie of your dreams. Like seriously friends. You might think these cookie dough stuffed chocolate chip cookies are complicated, or a lot of work, but I promise you they are easy. Yes, there is that extra step of making the egg-free cookie dough for the filling, but the end result is beyond worth it! ANNNNNND I decided to make a little video showing you how easy they are! My sweet kiddo edited this little video for me and we had a blast making them together…
