1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions
For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:
-
Preheat oven to 350ยฐF (177ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
-
Microwave the cold butter in 20-second intervals until halfway melted.
-
In a stand mixer, beat the semi-melted butter and both sugars on medium speed for 1-2 minutes.
-
Turn the mixer to medium-low, add eggs one at a time, and mix until just combined. Add vanilla and mix until incorporated.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Add to the mixer and mix until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.
-
Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or overnight.
For the Brownies:
-
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions or use a homemade brownie recipe (without the Oreo and fudge).
-
Allow brownies to cool to room temperature and chill in the refrigerator until firm.
-
Slice brownies into 1-inch chunks and set aside.
Assembling and Baking the Cookies:
-
Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (177ยฐC).
-
Scoop ยผ cup of cookie dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a brownie chunk in the center. Wrap the dough around it and roll into a ball.
-
Place cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set, and the center still looks undercooked. Rotate the sheet at the 6-minute mark for even baking.
-
Remove from the oven and immediately press more chocolate chips on top. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
ย
Storage:
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
-
For an extra chocolatey twist, use dark chocolate chips in the cookie dough and milk chocolate chips for the topping.
ย
-
These cookies are best enjoyed warm, but they can be stored for up to 5 days.
