Here's the thing. Chocolate chip cookie dough makes delicious things even more delicious. Including other cookies.

Case in point: sugar cookies stuffed with chocolate chip cookie dough. This baking experiment proves that yes, stacking two cutout cookies sandwiched with a dollop of chocolate chip cookie dough bakes up something delicious, and, in case you didn't notice, it's basically like eating three cookies at once. Triple threat of sweet deliciousness.

Note: You can either make these cookies as cutout cookies, or make more free-form rounds with your sugar cookie dough. The free-form method will result in fatter cookies (pictured at top); the cutout method will result in slightly slimmer cookies with a bulging mound of dough in the middle.

  • Yield:30 filled cookies


  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough (recipe of your choosing)


  1. 1.


  2. 2.

    Preheat oven to 375°F.

  3. 3.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters (or shape into thin rounds if you want more free-form cookies). Place half of the cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Leave the others to the side for the moment.

  4. 4.

    On top of each cookie on the sheet, place a small spoonful of chocolate chip cookie dough (the amount will be fairly small, roughly 1/2 teaspoon).

  5. 5.

    Place the rest of the sugar cookie halves on top of the cookie dough-topped cookie cutouts, and press down on the sides to ensure that the chocolate chip cookie dough is "sealed" within the two cutouts.

  6. 6.

    Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned on the edges. Remove from the oven, and let cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
