Instructions
Creating the wonderful Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies can be easy if you follow these simple steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Make the Cookie Layer:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution.
- Spread Cookie Layer:
- Spread the cookie dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan, pressing it down into an even layer.
- Make the Brownie Layer:
- In another bowl, melt 1 cup of butter. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips for added richness.
- Spread Brownie Layer:
- Carefully pour the brownie batter over the cookie layer in the baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool:
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing into squares.
