1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/3 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Edible Cookie Dough Layer
-
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
-
1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
-
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp milk (more if needed)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 1/4 cup (155 g) heat-treated all-purpose flour*
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1 cup (170 g) mini chocolate chips
*To heat-treat flour: Spread on baking sheet and bake 5 minutes at 350°F (177°C) to make it safe to eat raw.
🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Brownies
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
-
Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
-
Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
-
Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the center is set but still fudgy.
-
Cool completely — this is important so the cookie dough layer won’t melt.
Step 2: Prepare the Edible Cookie Dough
-
In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
-
Add milk and vanilla, mix well.
-
Add heat-treated flour and salt, mix just until combined.
-
Fold in mini chocolate chips.
-
If the dough feels too stiff, add 1–2 teaspoons of milk.
Step 3: Assemble
-
Spread the cookie dough evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
-
Press gently with an offset spatula to smooth the top.
-
Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Cut into Bites
-
Lift the entire slab out using the parchment paper.
-
Cut into 1-inch bite-size squares.
-
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
🍽 Storage
-
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
-
Freeze for up to 2 months; thaw in fridge before serving.
💡 Tips & Variations
-
Add crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or peanut butter chips to the cookie dough.
-
For extra fudgy brownies, reduce flour by 1 tbsp.
-
To make gluten-free: use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend (and heat-treat it too).
