Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for the brownie batter. Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for the chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Pour the brownie batter into the lined baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Take spoonfuls of the chocolate chip cookie dough and drop them onto the brownie batter.
- Gently press the dough into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish.
- Once cooled, cut into squares or desired shapes and savor the divine fusion.
