Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch sheet pan with butter or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well incorporated and slightly lighter in color.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until mixture is smooth and uniform.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter, reserving some for topping.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared sheet pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Crumble the chocolate chip cookie dough over the brownie batter, creating random chunks and clusters.
- Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour before cutting into squares.
- For best results, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to help set the brownies.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to create a smooth, consistent batter.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense brownies.
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the most intense flavor.
- Even Distribution: When adding cookie dough and chocolate chips, try to spread them evenly for consistent texture in every bite.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the sheet cake to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- Chilling Tip: Refrigerating before serving helps set the brownies and intensifies the flavors.
- Storage Hack: These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra indulgent experience, serve slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
