Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cookie Dough Topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, mixing until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour the batter evenly into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Bake the Brownie Layer: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
- Make the Cookie Dough Layer: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until combined. Stir in both mini and semi-sweet chocolate chips. If the dough is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Assemble the Cake: Once the brownie base has cooled, spread the cookie dough evenly over the top. Pour the heavy cream over the cookie dough to help set and add richness.
- Chill the Cake: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 1 hour to allow the cookie dough layer to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Slice into 12 generous servings and enjoy your cookie dough brownie cake chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure the brownie layer is completely cool before spreading the cookie dough to prevent melting.
- Use heat-treated flour or make sure your flour is safe to eat raw in the cookie dough layer to avoid any food safety issues.
- You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular size chips depending on your preference.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
