Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies. . . um yes please! Could there even possibly be a more decadent combination? I mean seriously, what could be better? You guys, these chocolate chip cookie brownies are absolutely evil and should be banned from my house from here on out.
These bars start with a homemade, fudgy brownie layer then are topped with delicious chocolate chip cookie dough and then baked. Now I love things gooey so I underbake mine, which you can clearly tell from the pictures. Feel free to bake yours longer, but I highly recommend keeping them at least slightly underbaked. They will definitely continue to cook and set up as they cool, so just keep that in mind.
I should warn you that these are rich and perfectly sweet so a little definitely goes a long way. I would cut them into small squares, but then again who am I to tell you what to do? If you want to cut them big, I won’t judge you, not one little bit.
My boys honestly went berserk over these. I think they were a little bummed I took a plate to my friend.
Topped with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of my caramel sauce these would be even more ridiculous than they already are. Yeah, I’m definitely going to have to give that a try. I guess I have no choice but to make these again this weekend.
Yes, I know there are probably hundreds of recipe like this hanging out on Pinterest, I’ve just never gotten around to making them. I am so happy I finally jumped on that bandwagon and you should definitely jump on it too.
I promise you that after one bite, you’re going to hate me, but deep down I know you’ll really love me.
Can I use a box brownie mix?
Yes you sure can. I do actually love boxed brownie mixes, they’re delicious and save time. With that being said, I still think homemade is always better and this brownie recipe is delicious and so simple to make.
One last thing, if you aren’t feeling the brownie layer (not sure if we can be friends if that’s the case😉), then you should give my chocolate chip cookie bars a try. They are phenomenal and fast and easy to make.

- Add cocoa and mix until combined. Stir in flour and salt until and mix until flour is incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spoon brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
- Take spoonfuls of the cookie dough and flatten just slightly and drop over the batter until covered. (It’s ok if there are holes).
- Bake for 30-40 minutes (I like mine to be more gooey so I only cook them 30 minutes, it’s a personal preference here). Keep in mind they will continue to cook a bit as they cool.

These are wonderful! We reheat them in the microwave on bread setting and then top with ice cream. Could not ask for a better dessert.

Thanks Patricia! So happy you love these.
Have you ever doubled the recipe for a 9×13 pan?
Hi Sharie! I haven’t ever double this recipe, but you should be able to double it and put it in a 9×13.
I made this recipe and it is absolutely special. Much easier to make than it looks. Will definitely make again.
