Cookie Dough Brownie Cake – Ooh, A Decadent Fusion of Fudgy Brownies & Creamy Cookie Bliss!

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9-inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper.
2. To make the brownie layer, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Set aside while you prepare the cookie dough layer.
6. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and milk until combined.
7. Gradually mix in the heat-treated flour and salt, then fold in the chocolate chips. The dough should be soft but scoopable.
8. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter. Use a spatula to gently flatten and spread the dough, leaving some rustic peaks for a homemade look.
9. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the brownie layer is set but still slightly fudgy in the center. The cookie dough layer should be golden and soft.
10. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Serve on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for maximum decadence.
