Talk about decadence, these brownie sandwich cookies are simply swoon-worthy, with a duo of fillings sandwiched between two rich, brownie-like cookies. They’re part cookie, part brownie, part chocolate truffle… and entirely delicious.

The cookies themselves are soft, chewy, and undeniably fudgy, with a silky smooth chocolate ganache filling and a hidden core of raspberry jam. The tartness of the raspberry counterbalances the richness of the chocolate ganache filling perfectly, resulting in an unforgettable sandwich cookie that you have to taste to believe.

Start your ovens, cookie season is upon us!

When I was developing my my stuffed Cosmic brownie cookies, I remember thinking that the soft, flat chocolate cookies (sans filling) would be perfect for sandwich cookies, filing away the though for later.

The recipe itself is nearly identical, just smaller and with the filling sandwiched between cookies rather than baked inside. I also added a pinch of espresso to the cookie base to further intensify the chocolate flavor.

The smaller cookies don’t spread quite as much as the stuffed versions (I’d have been ok if they had come out a wee bit thinner), but the cookie is so perfectly rich and fudgy that I really didn’t want to mess with it.
