Directions for: Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies
Ingredients
For the Cookie Base1 cup flour
cup sugar
Pinch salt
1 stick butter (8 tablespoons, 4 ounces or 1/2 cup)
1 egg, lightly whisked
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
For the Brownie Layer1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp cocoa
tsp salt
1 stick butter (8 tablespoons, 4 ounces or 1/2 cup)
8 oz 70% dark chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
For the Cookie Base1. Put flour, sugar, salt and butter into a medium bowl and mash the mixture until its crumbly. Whisk the egg with the vanilla and stir in along with the chocolate chips. Continue stirring until a dough comes together. Press it into a lightly oiled parchment-lined, 8 by 8 baking dish.
2. For an extra crispy cookie-like base, pre-bake the cookie dough for 15 minutes, If you prefer a softer base layer dont pre-bake. Either way will support the brownie layer.
For the Brownie Layer1. Preheat your oven to 350.
2. Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa and salt together. Meanwhile melt the butter over low heat. Turn off heat and add the chocolate.
3. Stir gently with a whisk as the chocolate melts then whisk the mixture smooth. In a second bowl whisk the eggs with the vanilla. Scrape and discard the whisk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Add the chocolate chips and mix well with a wooden spoon or the like.
4. Pour the batter over the baked or un-baked chocolate chip cookie base and bake for 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the brownie.
