Ultimate New York Style Cookie Sandwich

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2.In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.

3.In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

4.Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

6.Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7.Using a large cookie scoop, portion out 4-ounce balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each ball to allow for spreading.

8.Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

9.While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting by whipping the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

10.Once the cookies are completely cooled, pair them up by size. Spread a generous dollop of whipped cream frosting on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie, pressing gently to adhere.

11.Repeat the process with the remaining cookies until all are sandwiched with frosting. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later enjoyment.
