When I'm in the mood to bake something chocolatey I have a hard time deciding whether I'd rather have chocolate chip cookies or brownies or even just chocolate chip cookie dough. They're all equally special in their own way and fill a void in your stomach. Sooo I started searching for recipes online that combined chocolate chip cookies with brownies and look what I found, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies. Someone is after my heart.
Plus you don't need to worry about the fact that you're eating raw egg as this recipe doesn't have any egg in the cookie dough. Added bonus. So I tried the recipe yesterday and the end product was divine. The brownie part is deliciously soft and fudgy while the cookie dough part is beautifully doughy and sweet. Then there's a very nice addition of chocolate sauce on top which is the perfect finishing touch.
The writer of the recipe recommends putting them in little cup cake holders to make them look pretty. I just made big slabs of them as I didn't have anyone to impress. SO here's the recipe guys...you'll have to battle with yourself to not eat them all at once.
Ingredients:
BROWNIE: 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped 1 cup butter, at room temperature 2 cups light brown sugar, packed 4 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour
COOKIE DOUGH: 3/4 cup butter 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed 3/4 cup granulated white sugar 3 Tablespoons milk 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips 1/2 cup semisweet chips + 1 teaspoon shortening for drizzle, optional
Directions: 1. Prepare the brownies: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray. In a medium glass bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave in short bursts of 30 seconds; stir after each burst and remove from microwave when melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, mix butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix in melted chocolate. Blend in flour and mix just until combined (don't over-mix). Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake 25 to 35 minutes. Watch closely and remove from oven when toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
2. Prepare the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Mix in milk and vanilla. Mix in flour just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Spread cookie dough over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate until the dough is quite firm. It's okay to speed up the process and place it in the freezer too. The firmer the dough, the easier it will be to cut into neat squares. Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies. You may need to wipe the knife off with a paper towel in between cuts since the fudgy brownies and cookie dough will tend to stick to the knife a bit. These brownies are best to serve placed inside cupcake papers and served with a fork.
4. If you'd like to add chocolate drizzle on top, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of shortening in the microwave; stir until smooth. Scoop the melted chocolate into a zip baggie and snip off the corner. Squeeze the bag to drizzle the chocolate on top of each brownie. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top, if desired.
