Friends, I need help.
Let me tell you what all happened while I was trying to come up with these Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches with Nutella Cream Cheese Filling…
The attack of the “Let’s find the best chocolate chip cookie recipe” has begun, and it is taking place in my own kitchen. I made 3 versions last week on top of the 2 that I made two weeks prior. They are all in the freezer.
I have too many chocolate chip cookie recipes. About 25 recipes total. Only 5 of those are my own creation; pudding, no pudding, brown sugar, no brown sugar… spice, nut, yay, nay… oh the pain!
Can I tell you that my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is in fact the Nestle Tollhouse recipe? Is that wrong?
Every time I prep to make a new CC Cookie, I end up going back to the Tollhouse ones. But, I think all that might have changed last Tuesday.
The skies opened, the sun shined, and the light led me to … Martha Stewart. As always.
I lost over an hour browsing her cookie recipes, drooling, taking in all the inspiration before I finally decided on making these Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I desperately needed a new cookie recipe because I had this wonderful Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting on my mind. I made it and put it away. It sat in my fridge for two days before I finally realized that I wanted to stuff it in between two chocolate chip cookies.
If you can find about 30 minutes, roll up your sleeves and make these cookie sandwiches. One sandwich is enough, if not plenty, to satisfy that sweet tooth and quiet down the craving. And, make sure you get on the treadmill for 2 hours afterwards. 😉
ENJOY!

Once made, do you have to keep these cookies with the filling refrigerated?
Hi Tom!
I wouldn’t fill the cookies and then put them in the fridge; instead, keep the filling refrigerated and spread it on the cookies when ready to eat.
mixture of nutella and cream cheese as a filling really makes these cookies looks amazing and delicious.
These look absolutely DELICIOUS! I cannot wait to try this recipe! I never would have thought to combine Nutella and cream cheese. PS My “go to” chocolate chip cookie recipe is always the Tollhouse recipe.
Have you tried the recipe for Tate’s choc chip cookies. very similar to toll house, but crispier! It has turned into a new family favorite!!
