Brookies

Sorry this week I have been a little behind with the recipes, I worked every day but 1 so it didn't leave much room for trying new things, hopefully this week will be a little better.

I can't believe that I had never thought of this or seen it before now...a brownie with a chocolate chip cookie on top! This recipe was delicious but definitely very rich and a chocolate overload!! I decided that if I were to make it again I would either half the recipe for the brownie batter or use two 9x13's instead of 1 and then still put the cookie batter on top. This is a recipe that you need to have someone (or someones) to share with. I kept 3 or 4 pieces for Mom and I and took the rest to work...they were quickly gone :) And did I mention that this was my first brownie from scratch!? Besides how delicious these looked and sounded I think that was one of the major pushes for me to make these was the fact that I have never made brownies before from scratch.

For the brownies:

(Use a box mix if you're not up for making homemade)

1 cup Butter

2 1/4 cups Sugar

4 large Eggs

1 1/4 cups Cocoa Powder

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

1 1/2 cups Flour

2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Pre-heat the oven to 350*F. Butter a 9x13 baking dish.

In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter completely. Stir in sugar and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not allow sugar mixture to boil.

Pour butter mixture into a large bowl or stand mixer, beat in cocoa powder, eggs, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Stir in the flour and chocolate chips until well combined.

Set aside.

For the cookies:

2 1/4 cups Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1 teaspoon Salt

1 cup Butter, softened

3/4 cup Sugar

3/4 cup Brown Sugar

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

2 large Eggs

2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bow and set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Line a 9x13 dish with parchment paper. Pour brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Drop small spoonfuls on the cookie dough on top of the brownie batter.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out mostly clean.
