Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies
This is everything you’ve ever wanted in a baked good. Guaranteed crowd pleaser. Relatively easy to make. Salmonella free cookie dough. Need I say more?
I’ve made these brownies many times. Another option for a baking dish is to use a mini muffin tray! They bake much faster (start with 10 minutes and check with a toothpick) and don’t require you to cut them to serve. Plus they look like little two bite brownies with cookie dough hats.
INGREDIENTS
Brownies
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 cup butter
1 cup cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 ½ tsp. vanilla
Cookie Dough
¾ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup sugar
3 tbsp. milk
1 ½ tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips
YIELD
32 small brownies
TIME
Prep - 40 minutes
Bake - 30 minutes
Assemble - 20 minutes
Chill - 1 hour
TOOLS
2 medium bowls
Small saucepan
Electric mixer
Rectangle pan (13”x9”) *see other option above
Rolling pin (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13”x9” pan.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Melt butter in a small saucepan on medium heat. Remove from heat. Stir in cocoa powder. Let cool for 5 minutes and pour into a large bowl. Blend in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients to wet, 1/3 at a time. Mix until well combined.
Pour batter into your pre-greased pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
While your brownies bake, make the cookie dough. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to combine the butter and both sugars. Add the milk and vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the flour just until combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the chocolate chips.
Let brownies cool completely before adding the cookie dough on top. I found it a bit tricky to get the cookie dough evenly on top, so I used a rolling pin to roll the cookie dough out in about 4 square sections about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick. I added the sections on top of the brownies, and pressed them together with my hands.
Place pan in the fridge for at least an hour before cutting. Brownies can be stored either in the fridge or at room temperature.
