Servings: 18 cookies
Calories: 284kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Frosting Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons sweetened coffee creamer cookie dough or vanilla flavor
- mini chocolate chips for topping
- Edible cookie dough pieces for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract and egg to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until the dough comes together.
- Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Press each cookie down slightly. Fit about 8 cookies per sheet.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until the bottoms are barely golden. The cookies should look almost underdone. That is perfect.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar and vanilla together until moist and crumbly. Add the coffee creamer and beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting generously over each cooled cookie and top with edible cookie dough pieces and mini chocolate chips.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Do not overbake these cookies. Pulling them at 8 minutes while they still look slightly underdone is the key to a soft, chewy texture. A cookie dough or vanilla flavored coffee creamer works best in the frosting, but caramel or brown sugar flavors would also be delicious.
