Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cookie Dough Filling:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie removal.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together over simmering water or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  3. Add Sugars: Remove from heat, add granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until fully combined.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; fold gently into the mixture until just combined.
  6. Prepare Batter: Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake Brownies: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool Brownies: Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before handling.
  9. Make Cookie Dough Filling: Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  10. Add Liquids: Mix in milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  11. Mix Dry Ingredients & Chips: Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until just incorporated, then fold in mini chocolate chips.
  12. Assemble Sandwich: Using parchment overhang, lift brownies from pan and cut into two equal halves.
  13. Spread Filling: Evenly spread cookie dough filling over one half of the brownie layer.
  14. Complete Sandwich: Place the other half of the brownie on top and press gently to adhere.
  15. Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to set before slicing into squares or rectangles to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding the cookie dough filling to prevent melting or softening the dough.
  • The cookie dough filling is edible raw flour; for safety, use heat-treated flour to avoid any health risks.
  • Use parchment paper with overhang for easy removal of brownies from the pan.
  • For a richer brownie, use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate.
  • Store assembled sandwich cookies refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
