A yummy combination of a chocolate chip cookie on top with a gooey chocolate brownie on the bottom!
If you'd like, make the cookie dough ahead-of-time and flatten out and freeze. Then, it's easy to put the frozen disc on top of the brownies when the brownies are partially-baked!
Line 9x13 pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2 cubes + 3 Tbl. real butter, melted
9 Tbl. cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
4 large eggs
7 oz. (about 1-1/2 cups) flour, weighed and then sifted
1 tsp. vanilla
Whisk cocoa powder into melted butter. With mixer, mix in sugar and salt. Add eggs and vanilla and mix with mixer until combined nicely...but don't overmix a long time. Then, BY HAND, fold sifted flour into mixture. Pour into pan and Bake for 18 min.
Meanwhile, make the cookie dough:
1-1/3 cubes REAL butter, room temperature... no margarine or shortening!
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cups packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 Tbl. real vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups flour
1 cup chocolate chips
Mix butter with both kinds of sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Add salt, baking soda, and flour. Mix well. Add chocolate chips. On a large piece of waxed paper, flatten all cookie dough into a large rectangle.
After brownies have baked for 18 minutes, pull rack partially out of oven--quickly and carefully place large disc of cookie dough on top of partially-baked brownies while brownie pan is still in the oven. Carefully push the rack back in the oven. Bake for another 15 minutes OR SO until brownies are golden brown (don't take them out too early). Cool completely before lifting out of pan to slice. You can use a sharp cookie/bicuit cutter to cut equally-sized shapes!
