A healthy copycat version of the Great American Cookie Company's signature cookie. Two tender chocolate chip cookies with light and fluffy buttercream frosting between.
I'm reaching way back into my childhood for this recipe. I used to LOVE the double doozie cookies from The Great American Cookie Company. Every time we went to the mall and walked past that glass display case, my mouth would start watering. I loved those things! My mother didn't let me indulge too often, but when she did . . . ! So good! Even into my adulthood, I would sometimes have one (every several years) just for nostalgia sake.
My husband is the one who inspired the idea for this recipe. I had made the Chocolate Moisties (from the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook) and he was dreaming about using them for a "cookie sandwich." I did make a double doozie with those cookies, using my Healthy Coconut Oil Chocolate Frosting. (See my Facebook post about those cookies).
While those were delicious, I knew I wanted to try it with a more traditional vanilla type of frosting. I figured the perfect cookie for that would be my Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe! I mixed up a simple buttercream frosting, and came up with a double doozie that tastes amazingly like the original Double Doozie cookie!
I am so pleased to have re-created one of my favorite child-hood favorites! Now I can have them more often - and not even feel guilty!
This recipe only makes 2 Double Doozie Cookies, but feel free to double or triple the frosting recipe if you want to make more than 2 at a time. (If you make a full batch of the Chocolate Chip Cookies you should have plenty of cookies.)

If you make two, and they are even half as good as they look how can you just eat one. Hubby must be home to share with. ?

Is there a substitute for the Hydrolyzed Collagen? That's super expensive! If I were going to use it a lot that would be 1 thing but I just want to make these doozies!

You could use protein powder instead, if you like.
Georgina Bomer

This cookie looks like 3x pleasure! I grew up n Germany, so never tried the original. I will make this one for sure!
Jenny
My frosting melted very quickly. And the cookies were not warm. Is the THM brand collagen the same? Tastes great, just didn't hold up well.
dsdjhardy
Hmmm . . . Did you use softened butter or was it melted? My guess would be the Butter was the culprit before the collagen. ?
