Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

I made these for my last Mad Hatters where we ate lots of cake and watched Dr Who! One of the Year 9 girls made lemon cupcakes which were so so good. So good they deserved a picture and a mention!

I made these half cookie half brownie. They were supposed to have cookie dough on top but because I was little bit frightened of children that were not my own uncooked batter, so I stuck it in the oven again for about 10-15 mins, so that it was just cooked on top. Nonetheless, it was delicous, the girls loved it!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies (from Brown Eyed Baker)
(Makes 32)

For the brownie
115g dark chocolate, finely chopped
225g butter
400g light brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour

For the cookie dough
170g unsalted butter
150g light brown sugar
150g granulated sugar
3 tbsp milk
1½ tsp vanilla extract
190g self-raising flour
200g mini chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 160C. Grease and line a 23cm x 33cm pan

 

In a medium glass bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

 

In a large  bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix in the melted chocolate until combined. Sieve in the flour and fold in with a metal spoon. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 25 to 35 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Leave to cool completely.

 

Next make the cookie dough. Cream together the butter and both sugars. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until combined. Sieve in the flour and fold in with a metal spoon. Then stir in the chocolate chips.

Spread the cookie dough over the cooled brownies. and put into the fridge for about an hour until the dough is firm. Cut into squares.
