  • Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.

  • Spread the batter into a greased 8×8-inch baking pan.

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  • Allow to cool completely, then cut into 1-inch squares.

2️⃣ Prepare the Cookie Dough:

  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  • Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.

  • Fold in the chocolate chips.

3️⃣ Assemble the Cookies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk.

  • Place a brownie square in the center and wrap the cookie dough around it, sealing the edges.

  • Place the stuffed dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.Kitchen 335
