Brown Butter Double Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cookies.
But it’s like a cookie on top of another cookie!
Yeah. Like total dirty cookie on cookie action.
Except these ones down below wanted to try a few different positions.
I dunno… they’re all mixed up.
In order to solve a common I-want-a-chocolate-CHOCOLATE-cookie-but-he-wants-a-plain-chocolate chip-cookie dilemma that happens like, every single weekend here… I made both. On top of each other.
Some of them smashed up against each other while others sat on top of each other but in the end, they all tasted… fantabulous. Whichever way the ended up together. Best of both worlds. Literally.
And then they tasted extra delicious after I spent two hours cleaning out the contents of our bar (take that as you will), after he spent three hours organizing the pantry (that was weird) and after we both needed to severely eat our emotions immediately post-Boardwalk Empire finale.
WHAT was that. ???????
Why???
Then I tried to dunk a cookie in milk and failed.
I need cookie dunking lessons, a redo on season 2 (thanks HBO), and a salad. Yeah… that would probably be a good idea.
Brown Butter Double Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cookies
[from giant rainbow cookies]
makes 24 cookies
**You have two options here to make the dough. You can make two separate half batches of the recipe below in two different bowls (recommended if you don’t have a kitchen scale). Or, you can make the dough as calls for through adding the egg and vanilla extract. Then use a kitchen scale, measure it in grams, put an equal amount in each bowl, then make chocolate chip in one bowl and double fudge chip in the other. The latter is what I did and how I’m writing the recipe.**
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) of unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat and add butter. Whisk constantly until brown bits appear on the bottom (about 5 minutes), then remove and let cool completely. Once cool, add to a large bowl with sugars and whisk until completely smooth. Add in egg and egg yolk, whisking until combined, then add in vanilla.
Separate the dough into two doughs: Place an empty bowl on a kitchen scale measuring in grams, then pour the sugar mixture into the bowl, scraping all of it out. Note the weight in grams. Remove the full bowl from the scale, and place the bowl that previously held the butter/sugar mixture on the scale (taring it to 0). Add half of the butter/sugar mixture into the bowl – so each bowl has an equal amount of dough.
In one bowl, add 1 cup of flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt, then mix until a dough forms, using your hands if necessary. Fold in half of the chocolate chips. Set aside.
In the second bowl, add remaining flour and baking soda, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.
Roll each dough into 12 balls (about an inch thick) so you end up with 24. As demonstrated in the rainbow cookies, pull each ball apart. Take one chocolate chip half and one double fudge half, placing the round ends together with the rough edges out like in the second picture. Place dough rough-side down on a non-stick baking sheet about 1 1/2-2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are a little soft in the middle and golden on the edges. Let cool completely.
Double lovin’ cookies. I like it.

You’re killing me smallz.
Cookies on cookies. Such a good idea!
Who could ask for anything more then double the cookie? They look amazing!! I swear your BAD for my waistline!
So I’m probably one of the only people out there who actually likes chocolate chip cookies sans the chocolate chips (I know, I know, I’m seriously weird), but these look freaking fantastic, which is saying a lot coming from the girl who doesn’t care all that much for chocolate!
i am the exact same way and thought these looked insanely good anyways! you’re not the only one!
Drool, drool, and drool… write a cookbook, please?!
These cookies. Oh my. The rainbow cookie post is one of my faves of all time. The pics, the dough…and now this post…more of that same kind of dough. And two-tone. Choc and light. Perfect.Thinking.
Love it!
I loved it when you did this with the rainbow cookies and this is just as awesome looking. How good is the browned butter cookie to begin with? This is going right onto my list of cookies to try…unbelievable.
Love times ten!
This is so genius!
Best of both worlds :) You are such a problem solver!
I like it, double the cookies with half the guilt.
..and that has to be the butteriest sheen I’ve ever seen on a cookie.
Oh…my…gahhhhh…I must try these, immediately! I’m salivating all over my keyboard right now….
Oh my! I like double fudge cookies…stuffed with brown buttery chocolate chip cookies. Oh my!
Did you make a video of this and post it on YouTube and rate it XXX? You’d be a STAR.
Because life is too short to just have one cookie at a time! I have to make these for the boys! They would be in absolute heaven!
Um, I want the bacon popcorn you were talking about on Facebook last night.
I spent the last 15 minutes of the Boardwalk Empire finale screaming “Noooooo!!!” and “WHHHHAAAT??” Though I have to admit, last week’s episode was probably even crazier. SUCH a good show. I’m ready for season 3 rightnow.
Anywho, the cookies look amazing!
I KNOW. The last two episodes were so freaking good. Even though I was sad about the finale last night… what a great show. I feel like they are almost topping Sopranos!
This is genius! Best of both worlds :)
seriously? now i have make more cookies. i hate you.
just kidding. i love you.
I understand. Sometimes I hate myself.
If I didn’t already have 7 dozen cookies in my dining room, I would be making these NOW. Sadly, they will have to be bookmarked and wait.
Or I’ll just add to the 7 dozen I already have. One of the two.
What’s 24 more cookies? ;)
Cookie on cookie action! HA! Never thought I’d be so into THAT! ;)
i love you. and i decidedly need more cookies in my life. THESE cookies.
the end.
I break into to song when I see your recipes… And then movies lines. Then I must wait 9hrs before I can go home to make these. “you’re killin me smalls”
Hehehe. :)
“Like total dirty cookie on cookie action.”- you are hilarious! I never would have thought that if you didn’t point it out! :-) I know I say it often, but you are a culinary GENIUS! I don’t know how you come up with these ideas, but I love them. I am so making these, and seriously…CI’s needs you in their test kitchen! :-)
You are the best Kim!!
Weird. My post title for last night was the longest title since I’ve started my blog and I said it was a mouthful, too. Are we related? :-)
Two cookiess in one – you always amaze me how you come up with this stuff.
You rock, Jessica!
Yes, I’d like to think we’re related.
Holy crap those look so good!!

Nothing starts off the week right more than cookie on cookie action!
TWO COOKIES …..in one?!?!!? Crazyness.
I am in love!! Big time!!! Dream cookie right here!
This is definitely an Oh Wow cookie!
Love the dirty, cookie-on-cookie action ;) Yummy!
This is GENIUS. I never have to decide what kind of cookie I want again. I’ll just make both and call them one cookie. Done and done!
The only thing better than one cookie? TWO COOKIES! Obviously!! So simple yet so genius. I love it!
Oh my stars, woman!!!
These obviously look amazing! I always read your blog during class and then my mouth starts so salivate so I have to go buy some snack from the bookstore, not good ha. And umm Boardwalk wth? I was totally not expecting that to happen, and I don’t think I’m a fan!
Oh my goodness…I am just drooling over these!
You have the coolest ideas. I love this. :)
I will HAVE to make these for the girls … my vacation at home cooking/baking list just got longer!!!
Yum, these look delicious! So much chocolate, it is amazing!
I’m really not sure what to say about this. THANKS but no thanks? Hahaha I’m kidding. These look perfectly ridiculous and now my whole body is yearning for them.
What a great idea. It’s like my favorite black and white cookie :)
I could not agree more on the boardwalk finale.. I am mad!! How could they do that! I was watching through my fingers half the episode!
Cleaning out the bar hey? Did any Baileys make it into the cookie batter? ;) They look delish!
This is brilliant. Why choose between 2 amazing cookies when you can have BOTH???
brown butter and chocolate would make the best cookies! :D
I love a dirty cookie.
Ha, ok I’ve never had a dirty cookie, but I like where your head’s at. :)
Cookie perfection!!!
Oh wow… best. idea. ever.!!
Your dessert/sweet recipes are the best and always look sooo good.
Love this idea!!!
Ooooh yeah! Food porn!
OMG BOARDWALK EMPIRE!!! My mind was completely blown. How? Why? What the heckkkkk? I turned to the bf when the scene started and said “no way this is actually going to happen.” Spoke too soon. Sad face.
