Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Ingredients:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Cookie Dough Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Brownie Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for the brownie filling.
- Create the brownie base by whisking melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Incorporate cocoa powder, flour, and salt, mixing to a smooth consistency. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until set. Allow to cool completely, then slice into 1-inch precise squares.
- Craft the cookie dough by combining flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. In another mixing vessel, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until achieving a light, airy texture. Introduce eggs and vanilla, blending thoroughly. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, gently folding in chocolate chips for even distribution.
- Construct each cookie by taking 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flattening it into a disc. Position a brownie square at the center, carefully enveloping the brownie completely within the cookie dough. Ensure each piece is fully sealed and uniform in shape.
- Arrange the assembled cookies on baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow proper spreading. Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges as an indicator of doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to stabilize. Transfer to wire cooling racks to complete the cooling process, allowing the cookies to set and develop their final texture.
Notes
- Chilling the cookie dough for 30 minutes before assembling helps prevent spreading and maintains the brownie center’s integrity.
- Try dark, milk, or white chocolate chips to customize the flavor profile and create unique variations.
- Use gluten-free flour and almond flour for a celiac-friendly version without compromising the rich, decadent texture.
- Line baking sheets with silicone mats to prevent sticking and ensure even browning of the cookie edges.
