GOOEY, CHOCOLATEY, RICH, DECADENT- These Cookies n’ Cream Stuffed Brookies are a combination of fudgey brownie, chocolate chip cookie, and have a cookies n’ cream center. They are heavenly! And secretly HEALTHY! They are GLUTEN FREE, and VEGAN! You will drop to the floor when you try these π
Good luck stopping at just oneβ¦..
I love to use my cupcake/muffin tin for many recipes. I adore having things come in personally-sized packages π You can use liners if you wish or just oil the cupcake pan and once (COMPLETELY) cooled these babies come right out and you can see the contrasting layers.
Who LOVES CHOCOLATE??? I do! I am a choc-o-holic for sure! I eat Nutella out of the jar, melt chocolate chips in the microwave (sometimes with a few marshmallows), and pour chocolate sauce all over anything that resembles dessert! When Iβm feeling like I need my chocolate fix- a dense fudgey kind of chocolate fix, I turn to these, and now you can TOO! π

- 10-12 gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Trader Joes' GF Joe Joe's, OMIT FOR PALEO)
- Optional Topping: 1 cup TruWhip whipped with 2 tablespoons Nutella or other chocolate spread or sub coconut whip cream for paleo (like CoolWhip, or use whipped coconut creme in place of TruWhip)

These look so good – I wish I could reach through the computer and taste one right now! I am looking forward to trying these brookies.

What did you use to frost the brookie in the photo?? Thanks.
I used Truwhip (healthy cool whip), and whipped in some melted chocolate chips! Super easy and delicious!
