Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Batter:

  • 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Prepare the Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, including any additional ingredients required (usually eggs, oil, and water). Mix until smooth.
  3. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
    • In another bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks if using.
  4. Assemble the Brownies:
    • Pour about half of the prepared brownie batter into the bottom of the parchment-lined pan and spread it into an even layer.
    • Scoop spoonfuls of the cookie dough and flatten them slightly, then place the discs of cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter.
    • Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cookie dough, spreading it evenly to cover the cookie dough completely.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (a few cookie dough pieces on the toothpick are fine).
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the brownie batter and cookie dough ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake when ready.
  • Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
