Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie mix)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
Cookie Dough Layer
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Prepare brownie layer: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, typically combining the brownie mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan as the base layer.
- Make cookie dough layer: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients until well mixed to form a cookie dough.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Layer cookie dough over brownies: Carefully spread the cookie dough evenly over the brownie layer in the baking pan, covering it completely.
- Bake the combined layers: Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the brownies and cookie layer are fully baked.
- Cool and serve: Allow the baked cookie brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares and serving.
Notes
- Make sure not to overmix the cookie dough layer to keep it tender.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to preference.
- Cooling completely before slicing helps maintain clean cuts without crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
