There have been many posts and recipes about mixing chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie batter but up until today I had never tried the combination. All of this time missing out on this fabulous combination!!!! What was I thinking. Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies are a magical thing- a soft chocolatey bottom with a slightly crunchy cookie topping and very decadent.
For my version of Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies I used my Soft Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Best Brownie recipes. Some versions of this confection instruct you to just drop the cookie dough in pieces on the brownie dough but I decided to roll out the cookie dough between 2 layers of plastic wrap until it was the same size as the brownie pan. Then carefully placed the layer of cookie dough on top of the brownie batter. After baking it formed a crisp topping to the dense brownie layer.
The aroma of this baking was absolutely amazing. You really have to try this combination – it is life changing.
