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!

The filling is amazing Kate, not just for cookies but for a cake! I do believe toll house are the best still, all other are just a variation of that recipe, with half a cup more or less of flour or sugar.
Yeah, that’s what I think, too!! Copycats!! ;-D
You could have a lot of fun finding the best CCC recipe. Sounds like a good quest to me. 🙂
Honestly, I just want a spoon and the container of that Nutella frosting. Wow, that sounds amazing. I’ve not seen Martha’s cookie recipe, but I usually head to my Mrs. Fields cookie book when I’m looking for a fantastic cookie recipe.
Oh my! This is a must do this weekend, but in a tiny batch and I must run before and after making them 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Here I thought I was the only weirdo still perfecting the All-American Chocolate Chip Cookie to my personal liking! My fave of all time is still Cook’s Illustrated from January 1996…before all others starting using melted butter in their recipes. Anyway, I still see you are still trying scratch that creamy-chocolate itch from your French Silk Pie with your Nutella Cream Cheese Filling LOL! YUM. xoxo
Wonderful photos. I wish I could reach through the screen. It’s weird to say it, but my new favorite CCC recipe is off the back of the Costco Kirkland Signature chocolate chips. I like it better than Toll House. Must be the addition of a smidge of shortening to the batter.
I bet my kids would love these cookies–they love Nutella on anything!
PS–want to trade freezers? I’ve got a cow in one, and a bunch of put up CSA farm share vegetables and fruits in the other. I’d rather have cookies . . . .
I’ve tried the Kirkland recipe! It is SO good!!
I’ll trade freezers, not a problem… we need a cow and some fresh veggies, stat! 😀
Have I ever told you I love you? 😉 These are the best, Kate!
p.s. It’s taken me 3 decades but as of 2 mos ago, I finally have my CCC recipe. I am finally satisfied. And it’s so easy. It’s popular these days, but not as popular as the Cooks Illustrated recipe, which used to be my go to. But it’s been bumped.
I would gladly just skip the cookies and cut straight to the chase.
The Nutella Cream Cheese Filling !!! YES!!!!!
The things we do for the sake of our food blogs. (Chocolate chip cookie recipe hunts are The best…one can never have too many cookies in their freezer.)
Nutella is, and always will be, my dark and dashing hero of the dessert spread world. Sorry, cookie butter. 😀
Fab. photos!
