Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie mix)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Cookie Dough Layer
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup water according to the package or your homemade recipe instructions. Stir until smooth, then pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Mix Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, 2 eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the dough comes together evenly.
- Add Chocolate Chips to Cookie Dough: Fold 1 cup of chocolate chips into the cookie dough, ensuring an even distribution of chocolate throughout.
- Layer Cookie Dough over Brownies: Carefully spread the cookie dough over the brownie batter layer in the pan, covering the brownie layer entirely for the perfect layered effect.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely to set the layers. Once cooled, slice into 12 squares and serve.
Notes
- For best results, ensure brownies are fully cooked before removing from the oven to prevent a gooey center.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chunks or different types of chocolate for variety.
- Line the pan with parchment paper extending over sides to easily lift out the brownies after baking.
- If you prefer a richer cookie layer, consider adding a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of baking powder to the cookie dough.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
