Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wanting a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie but don’t know which one to choose? These cookies are for you! These cookies are slightly crispy on the edges and soft in the center. I can say I am absolutely obsessed with these. #cookies #brownies #chocolatechipcookies #baking #baker #sweets #foodie #dessert #Lemon8 #lemon8partner

Ingredients; (approx. 15 large cookies)

* 1 box brownie mix, baking according to package directions

* 3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened

* 1 c. brown sugar

* 1/4 c. granulated sugar

* 1 egg

* 2 tsp. vanilla extract

* 2 c. all-purpose flour

* 2 tsp. corn starch

* 1 tsp. baking soda

* 1 tsp. salt

* 1 c. bittersweet choc. chips

Method;

01.) Bake brownie mix according to package directions in an 8x8 pan. Allow to cool, then cut into 25 squares. (5 by 5 rows)

02.) Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, beating until combined. Stir in dry ingredients and chocolate chips.

03.) Scoop 1.5 Tbsps. of batter and flatten slightly into a thick pancake. Take a brownie square and mold it into a disk, then place on top of your cookie. Scoop another 1.5 Tbsps. of batter, flatten slightly, and place on top of the brownie disk. Working between your hands, pinch the edges of the cookie batter together and flatten the entire ball of dough slightly more so it is about 3/4 of an inch thick at the center. Place onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets (you will need 2). Repeat with remaining dough (you will have extra brownies left to snack on!). Cover trays with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, but up to overnight.

04.) Preheat oven to 350*F. Bake cookies for 15 minutes. They will be slightly undercooked, but will continue to cook as they cool. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

📒Notes:

~ For the brownie mix I used “Ghirardelli Double Chocolate” but you can use whichever one you prefer!

~ When most recipes call for brown sugar but it doesn’t specify which one to use, they mean light brown sugar unless it says otherwise.

~ I did not refrigerate these before I baked them so they did come out slightly bigger than I wanted them to. If you don’t use this step don’t stress out about it, it does not ruin your cookies!

~ Underbake your brownies. You want them fudgy, not cakey!
