Publix sells these chocolate chip cookies that have buttercream frosting in the middle and are dipped in melted chocolate.
They are so good!
I decided to try and duplicate the recipe.
And it was a SUCCESS!
I used my homemade gluten free chocolate chip cookies as the base for my Yo-yo cookies, you can find the original recipe here or use the tweaked version below.
Ingredients:
For cookies:
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten free all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 TBSP vanilla
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
For buttercream filling:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
For melted chocolate:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Directions:
For cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum.
- In a stand mixer, cream together butter, vanilla, and sugar.
- On low speed slowly mix in eggs, beating well between each addition.
- Gradually add in flour mixture, allowing flour to completely combine before adding more flour.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Using a 2 inch cookie scoop, scoop out rounded dough.
- Place on baking stone or sheet 4 inches apart.
- Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes.
- Remove cookies from sheet and place on wire rack.

For buttercream filling:
- In a stand mixer, beat butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar on medium speed until smooth.
For melted chocolate:
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds and stir for 10-15 seconds
- Microwave until completely melted in 15 second intervals stirring for 10-15 seconds after each interval.
- Do not over microwave. You can easily burn the chocolate.
To assemble:
- Spread buttercream icing on one cooled cookie.
- Top with a second cookie.
- Spoon or dip melted chocolate onto half of the cookie sandwich.
- Turn cookie over and repeat to ensure both top and bottom have chocolate on them.
- Place sandwich on wax paper.
- Allow chocolate to harden and then enjoy!
This is one of James’ favorite recipes. When I told him I was writing this one up for the blog, he asked me to make some right away.
Have a blessed day!
