When I first read this recipe, courtesy of non other than the most delicious Bakerella<\/a>, I sat stunned. I was in awe of the amazingness of the overall concept, I was totally paralyzed by the urge to get up and make it right now<\/i><\/b> and I was also a little concerned for my waistline. She even put a warning on the most decadent picture of this extremely sinful treat that says MAY COMPLICATE WEIGHT LOSS. Indeed, Bakerella. Indeed.<\/p>\n

I did get up and make them right away though. They were ready for the kids after school treat and dudes – they were extremely happy kids when they walked in and smelled this seriousness. I was declared best mommy ever once they tasted them – duh<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The simplicity of this recipe makes it all the more awesome. If you can make chocolate chip cookies and you can make brownies, you’re golden. The only thing I am ever not keen on with Miss Bakerella is all the boxed stuff used in the recipe. So the original recipe calls for a Betty Crocker brownie mix and a Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix.<\/p>\n

I however? Just. Couldn’t. Do. It.<\/p>\n

So I made a double batch of Good Housekeeping’s cocoa brownie batter and a double batch of Good Housekeeping’s chocolate chip cookie dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\nBrownie Batter:<\/b>
\n1\/2 cup flour
\n1\/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1\/4 tsp baking powder
\n1\/4 tsp salt
\n1\/2 cup butter
\n1 cup sugar
\n2 large eggs
\n1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n<\/td>\n		\nChocolate Chip Cookie Dough:<\/b>
\n1 1\/4 cups all-purpose flour
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 cup butter
\n1\/2 cup packed brown sugar
\n1\/4 cup granulated sugar
\n1 egg
\n1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

I doubled the recipe so I’ve got a whopping 2 cups of sugar here!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Mix the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Melt the sugar in the butter and add the eggs and vanilla.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Then add the dry ingredients and mix till it’s all combined. Brownie batter done!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Start on the cookie dough now by measuring out the sugars and the butter.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, with the egg and vanilla.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Measure out the chocolate chips and add them in too.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Cookie dough done!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Now comes the magic!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Grease a 13″ x 9″ pan and pour the brownie batter into it. Then dollop the cookie dough over it. Just look at it! YUM!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Bake it for about 35-40 minutes at 350F!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

These brownies turned out so well words cannot describe. <\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
