Today we’re making cookie dough cookies! These are thick, bakery-style sugar cookies frosted with the creamiest brown sugar frosting.

Reasons to Love These Cookie Dough Cookies
- Edible cookie dough. Homemade edible cookie dough is a game-changer. I use it to decorate these cookie dough cookies, and it’s a super simple way to enjoy cookie dough without risky ingredients like eggs and raw flour. Plus, you can reuse the recipe whenever a cookie dough craving strikes!
- Bakery-worthy. These cookies look like they belong in a bakery window, minus the bakery price tag. They’re made with common pantry ingredients.
- Easy to make. These are your standard sugar cookies and classic buttercream frosting, with the addition of brown sugar for that cookie-dough-inspired flavor. The dough for the cookies is easy to make, no chilling required!
