Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Base

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, typically mixing the oil, eggs, vanilla, and water with the brownie mix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (it should not be completely clean).
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Stir in the flour and salt until well incorporated.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Note: Do not bake the cookie dough, as it’s meant to be raw and safe to eat (using heat-treated flour eliminates any risk).

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

Once the brownies have cooled completely, spread the cookie dough evenly over the top of the brownies.
Press the dough down gently so it adheres to the brownie layer.

Step 4: Chill & Serve

Place the assembled cookie dough brownie cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up the cookie dough.
Slice into squares and serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy the perfect combination of chewy, fudgy brownie and raw cookie dough!

Notes

✔ Use Heat-Treated Flour – To make the cookie dough safe to eat raw, use heat-treated flour or bake the flour at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to kill any bacteria.
✔ Cool the Brownies Completely – Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the cookie dough layer to prevent it from melting.
✔ Add More Chocolate Chips – If you’re a chocolate lover, feel free to add extra chocolate chips to both the brownie base and the cookie dough layer.
✔ Make Ahead – This dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, making it perfect for parties or gatherings.
