Chocolate Chip Cookie Stuffed Brownies Recipes

BROWNIE STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch for the cookies. Set aside.
• Beat the butter and both sugars together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until well combined.
• Slowly add the flour mixture, mixing in the flour as you add more. Once all the flour is added and there are no streaks of flour fold in the chocolate chips and mix just until they are evenly distributed.
• Cover the cookie dough and chill for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
• Once the cookie dough is made, immediately start the brownie batter.
• Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt for the brownies in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, add the butter, sugar, and chocolate together. Heat on low and mix until the butter and chocolate are melted and the mixture is well combined. It will look fairly grainy at this point. Remove from heat and allow to cool until it is room temperature. If you kept the stove on low, it shouldn't take took long to reach this point.
• Vigorously. beat the vanilla and egg into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
• Stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture and mix until just combined and there are no streaks of flour.
• Transfer the brownie batter into a bowl, cover, and chill for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
• Remove the cookie dough and brownie batter from the refrigerator and uncover.
• Place parchment paper or silicone baking mats onto baking sheets.
• Measure out 1/2 tablespoons (1 1/2 teaspoons) of the brownie batter. The batter should be thick, and may require a few minutes at room temperature or a touch of muscle to scoop it out. Roll out the brownie batter into a ball.
• Measure out one tablespoon of cookie dough. Flatten slightly and create an indentation. Nestle the brownie batter ball into the indentation. Measure out another tablespoon of cookie dough and use that to cover the brownie ball. Roll the cookie dough in your hands swiftly to form a large ball. Set aside and repeat until you've run out of cookie dough. (You might end up with a bit of leftover brownie batter. I put mine in lined mini muffin tins to make brownie bites.)
• Chill the cookie dough balls together as you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the cookies for about 10 - 12 minutes. Leave on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes to cool before placing on wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
• Place the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at half-power in the microwave in 30-second increments until the butter has melted and the chocolate melts when stirred. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
• Add the flour and salt. Stir just until combined.
• Spread half of the mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
• Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls over the brownie batter in the pan. Gently spread the dough over the batter, taking care to disturb the brownie layer as little as possible.
• Drop the remaining brownie batter by tablespoonfuls over the cookie layer. Gently spread the batter over the dough, taking care to disturb the cookie layer as little as possible.
• Bake 38 to 42 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the brownies in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into bars.
