All great recipes start somewhere. Mine usually start watching The Food Network, and this time it was on Chuck's day off. I might of stolen this recipe from him but he stole it from his mom! His recipe is already beyond decadent, the best brownie recipe out there. I have made them many many times and then one day decided that it would be great if I added cookie dough! If you add the cookie dough as soon as the brownies come out of the oven, it starts to melt in, a little bit, and then the flavour combination works terrifically. You can either make your own cookie dough, see previous cookie recipe for the dough or you can buy two packs of Pillsbury! This is a dessert sure to please all brownie and cookie lovers alike!
Ingredients
Mom's Brownies
1/2 cup good cocoa powder
3/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
2 packs of cookie dough
Directions
Mom's Brownies
1. Stir together cocoa powder, flour and salt. Set aside.
2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until thick and lemon-colored, about 2 minutes. Blend in vanilla and chocolate. Slowly add cocoa-flour mixture, mixing until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans, saving some pecans back for garnishing the top.
3. Generously butter and flour a 13x9-inch pan (33 X 23 cm).
4. Fill pan with batter. Dot with pecans.
5. Place pan in center of 350 degree oven (177 C).
Bake until wood pick inserted in center comes out moist from melted chocolate (not batter), about 25 minutes. The top will likely start to show some cracks – it is drier than the interior. Let cool completely on rack. Cut into 12 squares. Top with cookie dough when still very hot.
