Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 cups pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy brownie removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully combined. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Take chunks of the pre-made cookie dough and press them flat. Lay the cookie dough pieces across the brownie batter layer, covering as much of the surface as possible.
Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cookie dough layer, and smooth it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of chocolate chips over the top for extra chocolatey goodness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookie layer should stay gooey.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
