Serves: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup brownie batter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Prepare a work surface with a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of prepared brownie batter.
- Take a portion of chocolate chip cookie dough and flatten it into a disc. Place a small ball of brownie batter in the center of the disc.
- Carefully wrap the cookie dough around the brownie batter, ensuring it is completely sealed and no brownie batter is exposed.
- Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips or a light dusting of powdered sugar while still warm.
- Serve and enjoy your decadent Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Tips
- Chill your cookie dough for 15-30 minutes before stuffing to make it easier to handle and prevent spreading.
- Use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing and even baking.
- Make sure to completely seal the brownie center to prevent leaking during baking.
- Let cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet to help them set and maintain their shape.
- For extra decadence, use high-quality chocolate chips and a rich brownie batter.
- If the dough seems too sticky, lightly flour your hands when shaping the cookies.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
