Cream Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe with Buttercream Icing Inside

If you love chocolate chip cookies or cookie cake, I bet you’ll love this recipe too.  Sometimes I make cookie cake or chocolate chip cookies with buttercream icing on top.

The other day, I bought some Chips Ahoy! Oreo Crème Cookies for the kids’ lunches. They were pretty good, but I thought I could do better.

I much prefer the taste of homemade cookies to store-bought pre-packaged ones so I thought I’d try my own version of the cookies.  I came up with a Surprise! Cream Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.

Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Surprise Creamy Middle

I started with my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe. Get my recipe and How to make the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies here. Nestle also has a good recipe for chocolate chip cookies on the back of their chocolate chips package.

Then, I made the cream filling.  I only made about 1/4 of the regular batch of icing from my recipe.  This is my easy, go-to recipe for icing.

Easy Buttercream Icing Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter (softened and almost melted)
  • 6 cups confectioners sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a mixer at med/high speed until nice and smooth.  The longer it sits the harder it will become.  If you plan to use as a topper, you’ll want the icing to me harder.  You may even want to put it in the refrigerator.  As a filler, use right away.

A cookie has been broken apart, and a white substance is being dispensed onto it from an orange tube, adding a surprise element. This could be part of a Cream Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, enhancing the treat's delectable appeal.

Surprise! Cream Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Surprise! Cream Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe with Buttercream Icing Inside

Ingredients:

  • Chocolate chip cookie dough
  • Buttercream icing

Directions:

After making dough balls on a cookie sheet, there are various ways to fill the cookie with cream.

  • You can slice the dough ball in half, add cream to one side, and put the top back on.
  • Flatten the cookie, but have cream in the middle, and fold up the edges to make a pocket for the cream.
  • You can inject the cookie with cream right out of the oven, after baking.

I tried those three ways.  They all came out yummy. It’s just a matter of preference.

When I used method #1 the cookies came out more swirled looking.

With method #2 the cream mostly stayed inside but was not visible after cutting the cookie.  It mostly created a creamy middle.

Method #3 looked the best but took the most amount of work.  I had to keep the icing thin in order for it to work in the syringe I used.  I kept a small bowl of icing and microwaved it occasionally to keep the icing the right consistency.  When I cut this cookie in half, you could visibly see the cream in the middle.

These cookies were really, really good.  My kids kept saying how good they were and I eventually had to cut them off.  We took a plate of these cream-filled chocolate chip cookies to a party and they were eaten pretty quickly.

Cookies With Cream In The Middle

Cookies with cream in the middle are a popular treat loved by many. These cookies consist of two soft and chewy cookie layers with a creamy filling in between.

The combination of the sweet, buttery cookies and the smooth cream creates a delightful taste and texture that is hard to resist.

Whether enjoyed on their own or paired with a glass of milk, cookies with cream in the middle are a delicious indulgence.
