Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer
- 12 squares (16 oz) Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Lovers Cookie Dough
Sugar Cookie Layer
- 12 portions Pillsbury Ready to Bake Shape Sugar Cookie Dough
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature.
- Shape the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Place the 12 chocolate chip cookie dough squares evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Press down each slightly to flatten them a bit, providing a sturdy base for the sugar cookie layer.
- Add the Sugar Cookie Dough: Center a portion of the sugar cookie dough on top of each flattened chocolate chip dough base, gently pressing down to adhere without flattening completely.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the edges of the chocolate chip cookie dough turn a very light golden brown, indicating that the cookies are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and makes handling easier.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature dough to make shaping easier.
- Do not overbake; cookies will continue to firm as they cool.
- You can substitute the sugar cookie dough with your favorite homemade recipe if preferred.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of festive colored sugar on top before baking for extra holiday flair.
