Cookie Dough Brownies
Description
This recipe features a brownie layer made from melted butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, flour, and salt. The batter is mixed until just combined to retain moisture and baked until slightly set but still fudgy in the middle. After baking, the brownies are cooled to ensure the cookie dough layer adheres properly.
The cookie dough topping is prepared by creaming softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy, then mixing in water, vanilla, flour, salt, and mini semisweet chocolate chips. This mixture remains uncooked to preserve the soft cookie dough texture. It is then spread evenly over the cooled brownie base to complete the layered treat.
These brownies provide a satisfying blend of rich chocolate and sweet cookie dough in every bite, ideal for gatherings or an indulgent snack. The recipe allows substitutions for chocolate chip types and offers a way to enjoy classic dessert flavors combined into one bar.
Ingredients
Brownies
- 3/4 cup butter , melted
- 2 1/4 cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large egg
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (You can use any type of chocolate chips you'd like)
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup water , but I like leaving these out at room temperature]
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Brownie Layer:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour or use baking spray a 13x9 pan.
- In a large bowl, add the butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs.
- Add in the cocoa powder, chocolate chips and salt and whisk until well combined.
- Add in the flour and whisk until just combined (don't overwhisk)
- Bake about 25-28 minutes or just until done in the center.
- Remove and cool on a rack until no longer hot.
Cookie Dough Layer:
- In a bowl with a mixer or a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars until they are noticeably lighter in color and very fluffy.
- This usually takes a couple of minutes.
- Add in water and vanilla and mix for a couple of seconds.
- Add in flour, salt and one cup of the chocolate chips and mix until all combined.
- The chips are so small they won't break apart in there.
- If you are worried or use an alternate type of mix in that is more fragile, use a spatula or whisk to incorporate the mix-ins.
- Spread the cookie dough onto the cooled brownies and sprinkle on the remaining half cup of mini chocolate chips.
- Press them into the top very lightly so they "stick."
