If you’re looking for a cute and out of the box idea for a brownie, here’s my recipe for star shaped brownies, sandwiched between two short cookies. I admit they’re a bit cumbersome to make, but as I am sure you have noticed by now, I only share my ideas. At best, you’re in for a very delicious brownie recipe 😊. Any remaining brownie leftover are NEVER discarded. Use them to make truffles, cake-pops or yeasted dough fillings.

Brownie Star Cookie Sandwiches:
Equipment:
- Star shaped cookie cutter, sized 5cm
- Squared pan sized 15cm (l) x15cm (w) x7.5cm (h), lined with parchment paper.
Recipe: 4 Sandwiched Cookies
Brownie Batter:
| Ingredient | Amount (g / units) |
| Dark Chocolate (55-60%) | 70g |
| Unsalted Butter | 42g |
| All Purpose Flour | 64g |
| Baking Powder | 1/4 tsp |
| Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder | 6g |
| Vanilla Extract | 1 tsp |
| Salt | 1/4 tsp |
| White Granulated Sugar | 85g |
| Eggs | 55g |
Cookie dough:
| Ingredient | Amount (g / units) |
| Softened Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature) | 28g |
| Eggs | 24g |
| Powdered Sugar | 15g |
| All Purpose Flour | 37g |
| Cake Flour | 37g |
| Baking Powder | 1/8 tsp |
| Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder | 6g |
Preparation instructions:
For the cookie dough:
- Pre-heat your oven to 180C (fan mode off), placing a baking rack at the middle shelf inside the oven.
- In a large bowl, using an electric handheld mixer, on medium speed- cream the softened butter with the powdered sugar until creamy (2-3 minutes).
- Gradually stream the eggs while you keep mixing on medium speed, for 2 more minutes. It is important to scrape the bowl occasionally with a spatula, to ensure even mixing.
- Sift the flours and baking powder over the butter mixture and incorporate with cutting like motions. You can knead the dough with your hands when it starts to resist to the spatula.
- Roll each part to a rectangle, 3mm thick (I recommend rolling the dough between a piece of parchment paper and a large piece of plastic wrap. It makes transferring the dough very easy and rolling it without the need to flour the counter), and freeze for 20 minutes.
- Cut out star shaped cookies, and evenly space them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The remaining dough can be re-rolled to cut more cookies in a similar manner.
- Bake for 7 minutes. Allow to cool down completely before assembly.
For the brownies:
- Preheat your oven to 175C, fan mode off, placing a baking rack at the lowest shelf inside the oven.
- In a bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave and mix into a smooth ganache.
- Into a separate medium sized bowl, pour the ganache and add the sugar, salt, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to a smooth batter.
- Sift all of the dry ingredients over the chocolate mixture: flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.
- Whisk thoroughly to a smooth batter.
- Transfer the brownie mixture to a prepared baking pan, lined with parchment paper and smoothen the batter evenly.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool down completely before cutting them into star shapes, using a 5cm star cookie cutter.
Assembly:
- Sandwich each brownie piece between two cookies. You may prepare a small amount of ganache (1:1 chocolate to cream), or some melted chocolate, to help the pieces stick together.
- For a festive touch, you can tie a bow around the cookie.
