Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie mix)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
Cookie Layer
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 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 layer: In a bowl, prepare the brownie mix by combining the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water as per package instructions. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
- Pour brownie batter: Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly into the parchment-lined baking pan, spreading it out to form a uniform layer.
- Make cookie dough: In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir well until a smooth dough forms.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Layer cookie dough: Spread the cookie dough gently over the brownie batter layer in the pan, covering it evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the baked cookie brownie to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving. Cooling helps the layers set for clean cuts.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to easily lift the brownies out of the pan once baked.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or white chocolate chips for variation.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free brownie mix and gluten-free flour for the cookie dough.
