Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
  • Optional: sea salt for sprinkling

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Burger

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop large mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Flatten each mound slightly with your hand.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  7. While the cookies are still warm, place a slice of cheddar cheese on half of the cookies, then top with another cookie to form a ‘burger’.
  8. Return the cookie burgers to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  9. Once the cheese is melty and gooey, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy your chocolate chip cookie burger!

Tips for the Best Results

  • For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese like cream cheese or even a drizzle of caramel for a sweet twist.
  • Ensure your cookies are slightly underbaked to keep them soft when assembled.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the cheddar for a slice of cream cheese or even a nut butter for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a layer of crispy bacon for a sweet and salty explosion.
  • Incorporate nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch in the cookie dough.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert pairing.
  • Fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for a refreshing contrast.
  • A drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover chocolate chip cookie burgers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to restore the melty cheese goodness.
