Ingredients:

• For the Brownies:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
• For the Cookie Dough Filling:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

For the Brownies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.

For the Cookie Dough Filling:

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
3. Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until fully incorporated.
4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Assembly:

1. Once the brownies are completely cooled, carefully remove them from the baking pan using the parchment paper.
2. Spread the cookie dough filling evenly over the top of the brownie layer.
3. Place another layer of brownies on top of the cookie dough filling to create a sandwich.
4. Wrap the brownie cookie dough sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich combination of fudgy brownies and creamy cookie dough in every bite!

Tips for Success:

• Chill Time: Refrigerating the assembled sandwiches helps firm up the cookie dough filling and makes them easier to slice.
• Customization: Feel free to add extras like chopped nuts or sprinkles to the cookie dough filling for added texture and flavor.
• Storage: Store any leftover brownie cookie dough sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
