Golden Sandwich Cookies

Our generous #Choctoberfest sponsor, Imperial Sugar, recently gifted each of us with a combination of 88 lbs. of light brown, granulated, and powdered sugar. All thoughts, ideas, recipes, pictures, and general silliness contained within this post are solely my own and not necessarily that of our sponsor.

If you’re looking for a real treat, try combining chopped store-bought golden sandwich cookies with homemade cookie dough to create the perfect chocolate chip cookie. The combination of the two types of cookies makes for an indulgent and delicious treat that’s sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Whether you’re baking for a special occasion or just want to treat yourself, these cookies are sure to be a hit.

Using pre-made store-bought cookies to make homemade cookies might sound harebrained or even perhaps a bit irrational, however, I’m pretty much always up for trying something new, especially when it comes to cookies. I mean, who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? Particularly one that is soft, chewy, overflowing with a generous amount of chocolate chips, and absolutely crammed with chunks of golden sandwich cookies. Sound good to you? Me too. I suggest you head straight to the kitchen and whip up a batch as soon as possible. Oh, and remember, as soon as you finish the homemade batch of cookies, you’ll still have some of the pre-made store-bought cookies left over to enjoy. I’ll leave it up to you whether or not to scarf them down as is or to make yet another batch of these magnificent chocolate chip cookies. After all, life’s all about choices.

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
1 Cup Imperial Light Brown Sugar, Packed
1/2 Cup Imperial Granulated Sugar
1 Whole Egg
1 Egg Yolk
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 (12-oz.) Bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
16 Golden Sandwich Cookies, Chopped (Divided)

Directions:

Cream the butter and sugars together for 2 minutes on medium speed.
Add the egg and egg yolk; mix for 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract; mix for 1 minute.
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together, and then slowly add it to the butter and sugar on low speed until just incorporated.
Fold the chocolate chips and 10 of the chopped golden sandwich cookies into the cookie batter with a silicone spatula until just incorporated.
Cover and chill the dough for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to place the cookie batter onto a Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place a few pieces of the remaining chopped golden sandwich cookies on top of each cookie, lightly pressing the cookie dough down while doing so.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until just set.
Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before moving them to a baking rack to finish cooling completely.

Suggestions:

Store in an airtight container.
Use golden sandwich cookies with a thicker cream center if available. The additional contrasting white filling not only looks pretty but is absolutely delicious.
Do not overbake these cookies. Make sure to check on them often during the last few minutes of baking.

Improvements:

Replace the golden sandwich cookies with chocolate sandwich cookies or any other seasonal variety.
Add a 1/2 cup of finely chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts to the cookie dough.
