Chunky Chocolate Chip Double Doozies, fluffy frosting sandwiched between two giant soft and chewy, chunky chocolate chip cookies, a copycat of the beloved cookie found at the cookie store in your local mall.
CHUNKY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE SANDWICH
This recipe is a copycat recipe of doozies from The Great American Cookie Company. Who can resist two chunky chocolate chip cookies sandwiched between a fluffy marshmallow buttercream?
We love the cookies at the cookie store in the mall, and the aroma is so inviting we can't resist sometimes, but they can be pretty pricey.
I just keep thinking I can make these, so I set out to create an easy recipe.
My description of easy is using refrigerator cookie dough, but the frosting has to be homemade. Nothing else will do...trust me.
After scrolling through the web, I came up with an easy homemade recipe for the frosting. It is similar to the buttercream frosting I use to frost cakes and cupcakes, but it has an ingredient that is indicative of the cookie store, Marshmallow Fluff!
The marshmallow fluff keeps the frosting fluffy and stable when the cookies are pressed together. You might say it has a little spring in the touch. Haha!

TIPS AND TIDBITS TO MAKE THE BEST CHUNKY CHOCOLATE CHIP DOOZIES
Cool the cookies. Cool the cookies completely before frosting the inside of the bottom cookie and close another on it. If you add the frosting too soon before they have cooled, the frosting will melt.
Marshmallow mixture. The marshmallow mixture needs to be very thick but not too stiff to keep the cookies from breaking when they are pressed together with the filling inside them.
Room temperature. The cookies can stay out on the counter for several hours. If you prefer, they can be refrigerated and stored.
The Great American Cookie Company Variations. Using refrigerated cookie dough, the different flavors are endless: Peanut Butter Cookies with Reeses Pieces, Sugar Cookies with sprinkles, and Double Chocolate with White Chocolate Chips.
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE CHUNKY CHOCOLATE CHIP DOUBLE DOOZIES
1 jar marshmallow fluff
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
2 to 3 cups powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
2 to 3 cups powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream
HOW TO MAKE CHUNKY CHOCOLATE CHIP DOUBLE DOOZIES
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake cookies according to package directions. Cool completely before making doozies.
Scoop 2 tablespoons frosting and place on the bottom of a cookie. Place the bottom of another cookie on top of the frosting. Slightly press down; set aside. Continue with the remaining cookies.
FROSTING/FILLING
In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the wire whisk, cream the marshmallow fluff, butter, and shortening until creamy smooth, scraping down the edges.
Add 2 cups powdered sugar. Beat until creamy smooth. Add milk and additional powdered sugar until the mixture is thick and will hold together after scooping. Use the cream as needed to keep it creamy and not too stiff.

Great looking cookies...Got to hand it to good old marshmallow fluff - of course I grew up in the 60's and it was in everything (read jello salads...lol) but I haven't heard much about it lately...
