COOKIE DOUGH + BROWNIES! A genius combo.
One of you fantastic commenters (hi, Keesha!) suggested I try making cookie dough brownies, and even gave me the link to a recipe from the blog Bakerita.
I tried it. I loved it. I just had to share it.
…and no raw eggs in this cookie dough! So it's safe 🙂
If you have a favorite brownie recipe, you can use that and then add the cookie dough on top. I tried the Bakerita brownie recipe and it was rich and fudgy…just how I like my brownies! So I'll include her brownie recipe here, too.
Below is the recipe (via http://www.bakerita.com/cookie-dough-brownies/)
for the brownies:
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cups light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
For the brownies
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or foil and grease lightly.
Combine the melted butter, sugars, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into the egg mixture until blended. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove, and cool pan on wire rack before frosting with cookie dough.
For the cookie dough:
¼ cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk of choice
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup mini chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, white sugar, and butter until smooth. Whisk in vanilla and milk. Mix in the flour until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
Spread cookie dough in an even layer on top of cooled brownies. Refrigerate until firmed up, about 1 hour, before cutting into squares.
Hope you guys enjoy this! And thanks, again, Keesha for suggesting I try it! 🙂
