Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Brownie-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

I wasn’t lying when I said we were going to celebrate National Cookie Month! We’re three days in and here is your second cookie recipe.

LeBraun’s two favorite desserts are brownies and cookies so…drumroll please…we proudly present to you Brownie-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies!

We literally baked a pan of brownies, sliced them, and stuffed those brownies pieces into chocolate chip cookies. Why yes, yes we did do that. You’re welcome!

Each bite is the perfect cure for sweet tooth cravings. These Brownie-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are every bit as indulgent as they look.

The brownies are completely surrounded by the cookie dough and baked to a tee. I feel like I don’t need to go on as by now you know these are going to be goooood! Chewy, delightful and of course gluten-free + dairy-free!

This is a solid recipe that we love because it is simple to prepare as you can just purchase box mixes form the store. Boom! Everyone’s favorite classic chocolate chip with moist, sweet, and chocolatey chocolate brownies.

Now we’re going to sit on our couch and watch some NHL as HOCKEY IS BACK!
