Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cookie Dough Layer:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Layer: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until just combined and smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownie layer cool in the pan.
  2. Prepare the Cookie Dough Layer: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually mix in the flour and salt until just combined. If the dough is too crumbly, add milk one tablespoon at a time until a smooth consistency is achieved. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  3. Assemble the Brownies: Once the brownie layer has cooled, spread the cookie dough evenly over the top. For best results, refrigerate the brownies for about 30 minutes to allow the cookie dough layer to firm up.
  4. Serve: Cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Cookie Dough Brownies.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownie layer is completely cooled before spreading the cookie dough layer to prevent melting.
  • The milk in the cookie dough layer is optional and should be added only if the dough is too dry or crumbly.
  • Refrigerating the assembled brownies helps the cookie dough layer set for easier slicing.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
