but the real work was trying to figure out what to make!
Some things were easy to decide on, but then I got stuck.
I wanted to make cookies, because...well...
if the world was coming to an end then I would want cookies.
A lot of cookies...Heck, the world is ending people! Who cares how many cookies I eat?!?
But, not everyone loves cookies to the great extent that I do, so I needed something else too.
Fact...people love chocolate and brownies have a lot of chocolate.
So what is a girl to do?! I know!
Just mash the two things together and...boom!
Chocolate Chip Cookie- Brownie Bar!
Cookie-Brownie Bars
Recipe Adapted from
Mandy's Recipe Box- Double Cookies and Cream Bars
Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 brownie mix (Yes, it feels like cheating to me...but I'm tired.)
- 3 eggs
- vegetable oil
- water
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a 9x13 baking dish with tin foil or just spray with cooking spray. Use the tin foil...it will save you time!
3. Place butter and sugars into a large bowl, stir to combine. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing to combine. Add dry ingredients and stir to combine. Press 1/2 of the dough into the bottom of prepared baking pan.
4. Prepare the Brownie Mix according to the package. Man, this really feels like cheating...
5. Pour Brownie Mix over the top of the cookie layer.
6. Drop chunks of cookie dough into the Brownie Layer.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 30 minutes, cut into squares and serve.
If using tin foil in the pan, let the bars cool, then lift the whole thing out and cut into squares. Wrap them up and get them ready to sell. But don't worry that you shouldn't eat a whole bar. There will be little pieces of cookie-brownie to nibble on. :0)
