How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for the brownie batter. Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
4. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for the chocolate chip cookie dough.
5. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until light and fluffy.
6. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft cookie dough forms.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Pour the brownie batter into the lined baking dish, spreading it evenly.
9. Take spoonfuls of the chocolate chip cookie dough and drop them onto the brownie batter.
10. Gently press the dough into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly gooey.
12. Remove from the oven and allow the brookies to cool completely in the baking dish.
13. Once cooled, cut into squares or desired shapes and savor the divine fusion.

How to Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies

Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies can be served warm or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own but can also be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Drizzle some chocolate sauce on top for added indulgence, or serve them with a glass of milk for the classic pairing.

How to Store Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies

To keep your Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for about three to four days this way. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the brownies. Cut them into squares, wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can last up to three months in the freezer.

Tips to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies

1. Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
2. Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the cookie dough to achieve the best texture.
3. Do not overmix the brownie batter to keep it fudgy.
4. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Variation

You can personalize your Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies by adding nuts, like walnuts or pecans, to the brownie batter. Alternatively, try using different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate for a new twist.

FAQs

1. Can I use a brownie mix instead?
Yes, you can use a boxed brownie mix instead of making the brownie batter from scratch. Just follow the instructions on the box for baking.

2. Can I add other mix-ins to the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Feel free to add ingredients like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even M&Ms to the cookie dough for a fun twist.

3. How do I know when my brookies are done baking?
The edges should look set, and the center will still appear slightly gooey. Insert a toothpick; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done.
