The name says it all, cookie dough brownies! I made a batch of these babies this week and they could not have been any more successful! I first came across cookie dough brownies on TV, it wasnt a cooking show, it was actually just a silly sitcom and I noticed in the background that the father on the show was sloshing cookie dough into a tray of brownie batter! So, being the creative fool that i am, i whipped up a batch of my brownie recipe along with a batch of my favourite chocolate chip fudgey cookies and put them both together in a pan, and hey presto, i had the most gooey, unbelievably mouth watering, crispy on the top cookie dough brownies! And here is my recipe:
For the brownies:
-200g dark chocolate broken up
-175g unsalted butter
-325g caster sugar
-130g plain flour
-3 eggs
Method:
-Melt the chocolate and butter in a pan over low heat until smooth.
-Remove from heat and add the suagr, mix well.
-Add the flour and mix until smooth
-Stir in the eggs and mix well.
-Spoon the mixture into a greased and lined baking tray.
For the cookie dough:
-110g unsalted butter
-100g caster sugar
-100g soft light brown sugar
-1 egg
-1/2 teaspoon vanila extract
-170g plain flour
-1 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
-1/4 teaspoon of salt
-75g chocolate chips
-50g chopped vanila fudge (optional but amazingly tastey!)
Method:
-Mix the butter and sugars in a freestanding mixer untill light and fluffy.
-Add the eggs and vanila and mix well on a slow speed.
-Add all the dry ingredients (flour, salt bicarb) and mix well on medium speed until dough is formed.
-Spoon tablespoon size lumps randomly into the brownie batter so that a fair amount (about 3/4) of the surface is covered.
-Bake ion the oven at 170c (325f) gas 3 for 40 minutes until the cookie dough is golden and the brownies are flaky.
The mixture will be very gooey at first but leave to cool completeley before cutting and serving. (i suggest over night)
Enjoy!
