Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Melt the butter for the brownie batter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined, creating a smooth mixture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients for Brownies: Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ready to be poured into the baking dish.
- Cream Cookie Dough Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for the chocolate chip cookie dough until fluffy and combined.
- Add Egg and Vanilla to Cookie Dough: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture until light and fluffy, incorporating air into the dough.
- Add Dry Ingredients to Cookie Dough: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft cookie dough forms, ensuring proper texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough until evenly distributed throughout for bursts of chocolaty goodness.
- Spread Brownie Batter: Pour the prepared brownie batter into the lined baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Add Cookie Dough Dollops: Take spoonfuls of the chocolate chip cookie dough and drop them evenly over the brownie batter layer.
- Create Marbled Effect: Gently press and swirl the cookie dough into the brownie batter to create a marbled design that will bake together beautifully.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center remains slightly gooey, perfect for fudgy brownies.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the chocolate chip cookie brownies to cool completely in the baking dish to set properly.
- Cut and Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares or desired shapes and serve to enjoy the delicious brookies.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is melted but not hot when mixing the brownie batter to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Do not overbake to keep the center fudgy and gooey.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies from the pan.
- For added texture, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
