Yo-Yo Cookies

Spread the love
Jump to recipe

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.

  3. Microwave until completely melted in 15 second intervals stirring for 10-15 seconds after each interval.
