Love cookie dough? ❤️
Then these Cookie Dough Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies have YOUR name on them. They are thick, chewy and absolutely packed with gooey chocolate chip cookie dough.
They’re everything a chocolate chip cookie should be, and SO much more. Homemade cookie dough is frozen and baked inside each cookie, so they’re buttery and golden on the outside, and sticky and gooey on the inside.
While these cookies look like your regular chocolate chip cookie, they are anything but. Inside each one is a ball of homemade chocolate chip cookie dough that has been frozen.
Regular chocolate chip cookie dough is then wrapped around each ball of cookie dough. Each cookie is then baked until golden and gooey. Freezing the cookie dough ensures it stays extra soft – perfecto!
These cookies were actually inspired by Christina Tosi’s Cookie Dough Cookies. She makes a mean Cookie Dough Cookie by actually baking her entire cookie in a really hot oven, so the outside cooks but the inside of the cookie is basically still raw.
I wanted to take this idea but do something that would guarantee a gooey cookie dough centre every, single, time. It may take a little more effort to make a batch of edible cookie dough and actual cookie dough, but honestly, these cookies are something else. They tastes A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
So if you love cookie dough, you need to try these! You’ll end up with a batch of irresistible Chocolate Chip Cookies, each one with chewy golden brown edges, and a super gooey middle oozing with melted chocolate chip cookie dough.
It’s the perfect cookie for cookie dough enthusiasts like me. And they’re pretty easy to make! Share them with your family and friends and present them as a regular chocolate chip cookie. They will be delighted to take a bite and discover such a delicious surprise! Next up? My Chocolate Cookie recipe.

Chocolate chip cookies
- 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 210 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) plain flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 75 grams (1/2 cup) milk or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line two baking trays with baking paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars using an electric mixer for about 3-4 minutes or until the mixture is pale and creamy. Add vanilla and beat again.
- Sift in your flour and stir with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough forms. Then stir in chocolate chips.
- Roll small teaspoons of the cookie dough into balls and place them on one of the baking trays. Place in the freezer for at least an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced.
- In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugars and beat using an electric beater for a minute or two until smooth and creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined, scrapping down the sides. Add the sifted flour and baking soda and stir using a wooden spoon. Then add the chocolate chips.
- Grab your frozen cookie dough out of the freezer. Wrap pieces of the regular cookie dough around the frozen cookie dough and roll into a ball using your hands – all the frozen cookie dough should be completely covered.
- Place the cookies on a lined baking tray, leaving room for the cookies to flatten out. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
