First whip up a batch of brownies and cut them pretty small.
I went with 1/2″ squares (ish) and Bakerella went with 1 squares. Then, as
they’re cooling, make a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough (use mini chips).
Do you need recipes for these elementary school baked goods?
The brownies could not be simpler; melt 1/2 cup butter in a
saucepan, once it’s melted add 1 cup of sugar and stir till it’s totally
dissolved. Then mix in 2 eggs, one at a time and 1 tsp of vanilla. Now dump in
1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder. It’ll be
pretty gloopy, but just mix it in till it’s all one gloopy mass and away you
go. Pop them in for about 10-15 at 350.
The cookies are also painfully easy. Mix 1 cup butter and
the 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar till creamy. Then add 2 large eggs, 1 large
egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Yes, a tablespoon not a teaspoon. Mix 2
1/2 cups flour, 2 tsps baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp baking soda.
The add that to the rest of the mix. Now stir in a whole 12oz bag of mini
chocolate chips. Chill the dough for about an hour.
Now, the fun begins! Make a generous ball of cookie dough.
Smoosh a thumbprint into it.
Plunk a brownie into the indentation you just made. Now roll
the rest of the cookie ball around the brownie, add a little more dough if you
need to. Now giggle. You just hid a brownie in a cookie.
Repeat over and over. Don’t try to put more than 6 on your
tray at a time (assuming it’s an average size tray) because they run together.
