Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 batch of your favorite brownie batter (approximately 1 ½ cups)
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Chocolate Drizzle
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie batter according to your favorite recipe or box instructions. Pour the batter evenly into a greased baking pan and bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Make Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread a generous, even layer of cookie dough over the cooled brownies. Using a spatula, press the cookie dough gently to create a flat surface.
- Chill: Place the assembled brownie and cookie dough layer in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
- Slice and Drizzle Chocolate: Remove the chilled layered dessert from the refrigerator and slice into individual sandwich-sized squares or rectangles. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the sliced sandwich cookies for an elegant finish.
- Serve and Store: Allow the chocolate drizzle to set before serving. Store leftover sandwich cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the brownies are completely cooled before adding the cookie dough layer to prevent melting.
- If you prefer a firmer cookie dough, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before spreading on the brownies.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips depending on preference.
- Use parchment paper in the baking pan to easily lift out the brownies.
- These sandwich cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
