    Delicious chocolate cookies filled with chocolate chips and gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies make these Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cookies beyond decadent. They have a slightly crispy exterior and a soft interior; the best of both worlds. In addition, they’re gluten free, nut free, egg free and easily vegan! 

    Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cookies.

    Guys. Do you remember my Cookies and Cream Cookies?

    These are a chocolate version of those cookies since my family is chocolate obsessed!

    And OH MY GOSH…they’re soooooo good!

    For the base of this cookie, I used the recipe for the Double Chocolate Brownie Bite Cookies. The combo is wonderful!

    • Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cookies

    Ingredient Notes

    • Softened butter or vegan baking stick: Don’t use melted butter or vegan baking stick. That tends to make the cookies spread out more, especially since no egg. These cookies should be a bit puffed up so they can handle the chunks of chocolate sandwich cookies. 
    • Dark Brown Sugar: The dark brown sugar makes these cookies have that richness that you can only get from a molasses like flavor.
    • Honey: For that deep sweetness that just takes these egg free cookies to the next level.
    • Chocolate Sandwich Cookies: You can use whatever gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies you desire. The ones I use are gluten free and vegan like in my Cookie Monster Cookies.
    • Chocolate Chips: I love using semi sweet gluten free/vegan chocolate chips. They give even more added gooey sweetness to these cookies. 

    See my recipe card below for a complete list of the ingredients with measurements.

    Substitutions and Variations

    How to Make These Vegan

    • Use a gluten free flour that’s free from dairy.
    • Swap out the butter with vegan baking sticks.
    • Make sure the chocolate chips you use are vegan.
    • Only use gluten free/vegan chocolate sandwich cookies.

    How to Make Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cookies

    Here are the step by step instructions to make these cookies!

    Step 1: Whisk the Dry Ingredients

    Whisk together the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. 

    Step 2: Cream the Sugar

    In a large bowl of an electric mixer or using a hand held mixer, beat the butter or vegan baking stick and the brown sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.

    Add in the honey and beat until fluffy.

    Step 3: Mix in the Dry Ingredients

    Reduce speed to low. Gradually add in the flour mixture and beat until well combined. 

    Turn off the mixer and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. 

    Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips and Sandwich Cookies

    Fold in ¾ cup of chocolate chips and ¾ cup broken chocolate sandwich cookies into the dough using the spatula. 

    Step 5: Wrap and Chill

    Place dough in plastic wrap and flatten into an oval. 

    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. I’ve left it in the fridge overnight before. 

    Step 6: Preheat the Oven

    When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 7: Make Cookie Dough Balls and Add Chocolate Chips

    Pour the ½ cup of chocolate chips on a plate.

    Take a piece of cookie dough and roll it into a 2 inch ball.

    Push about 5-6 extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies. 

    Step 8: Drop in Sugar

    Then drop the dough balls, one at a time, into granulated sugar. Roll to coat.

    Step 9: Bake

    Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets (place the side with the extra chips up), spacing about 3 inches apart.

    Bake until the tops are cracking and cookies are just set, about 11 minutes. 

    Step 10: Add Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Chunks

    As soon as they get out of the oven, press 3-4 chocolate sandwich cookie chunks into the tops of each warm cookie. 

    After a few minutes transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and repeat with the rest of the dough.

    Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy!

    I love these cookies so so much! You cannot go wrong with two cookies in one! They’re delicious, gluten free, nut free, egg free and easily vegan!

    These Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cookies will be a new favorite in your home!

    Expert Baking Tips

    • Use 2 Types of Cocoa Powder- The 2 types of cocoa powders give the cookies their dark hue. If you only have one type on hand, use natural unsweetened or dutch...just know their color will not be as dark as mine. DO NOT use dark alone; it will make your cookies too chalky dry and bitter.
    • Refrigerate the dough- This is a must with egg free cookies. The dough needs to be chilled for at least 30 minutes so that it doesn’t spread all over the place when they bake. 
    • Freezing the dough- You can make the dough the day before and keep itin the fridge or you can make the dough and freeze it. If freezing the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and then put it in a ziplock to ensure no ice crystals form. When you are ready to bake, you can put the frozen dough in the fridge the night before you want to bake. If you want to use the dough the same day, simply leave it out on the counter for about 20 minutes or until it is workable. There are no eggs in this dough so it’s fine for 20 minutes on the counter. 
    • Break the chocolate sandwich cookies by hand- I love having chunks of chocolate sandwich cookies in every bite. I broke the cookies by hand into small chunks. This helps the cookies be less sandy. If they’re chopped too fine, they make the batter have a sandy-like consistency.
    • Press extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies prior to baking- This makes these cookies even more amazing. It ensures you get chocolate in every bite.
    • Press more chocolate sandwich cookies into the tops of the cookies after they’re baked- When they come out of the oven, press an extra 3-4 chocolate sandwich cookie chunks into the tops of each cookie.
