yummm...chocolate chip cookie brownies, yes please!!

boy do i love to bake. it puts me in my happy place. and don't worry, eating them after does too :)

i was inspired to make these yummy delights after a friend brought us some when we came home from the hospital. hers were from a box but i wanted to make them a little more "semi-homemade." so i took my cookie recipe (it's delicious) and a boxed brownie mix and combined the two.

Ingredients:

for cookies-

2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar packed
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

for brownies-

brownie box mix
whatever the box mix says you need :)

First make the cookies...

pre-heat the oven to what your brownie box instructs

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.

Pour the melted butter in the mixer’s work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough.

Now make your brownie mix and pour it in your 8x8 dish.

take spoonfuls of cookie dough and push down into the brownie batter. the more cookies you put in the better :)

bake using the directions on your brownie box.

and enjoy :)
