Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Crumble the chocolate chip cookie dough over the brownie layer, creating a consistent coverage.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cookie dough layer, using a spatula to spread it carefully and cover the cookie dough completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into 12 equal squares and serve. Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for the smoothest batter consistency.
- Don't overmix the brownie batter - this can lead to tough, dense brookies.
- For extra indulgence, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Let the brookies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- For a gourmet touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking for a flavor contrast.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
- For an extra decadent version, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel on top after cooling.
