Instructions
- Brownies:
- Beat the sugar and eggs together until light in color.
- Add all the rest of the ingredients until blended by hand and set aside.
- Prepare a brownie pan with grease or parchment paper and set aside
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Instructions:
- Cream the butter and sugar until light around 3 minutes.
- Add all the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips, those just need to be folded in after the mixture is blended together.
- I like to refrigerate this dough for 1/2 hour before putting it together.
- Layer for a sheet pan with brownie batter on the bottom of a lined brownie pan with parchment paper.
- Then drop the cookie dough on top.
- Note: it's ok if it doesn't cover completely.
- Bake at 350 degrees for around 40 minutes.
- Cool completely before cutting them.
- Cookies:
- If making cookies, line a cookie sheet. with parchment paper.
- To make the half and half use a small, teaspoon or melon ball scoop and place each kind of dough, side by side and pinch the colors together molding them in a half-moon style form.
- Bake them in the oven for 10 minutes, until they are lightly brown and set around the edges.
- I press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie as soon as they come out of the oven.
- An alternative using mixes:
- use a brownie and chocolate chip cookie mix to package instructions and follow the same instructions for molding and baking.
