Author: Ireland Lindsay
Ingredients:
For the brownie:
¼ cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup dark cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
For the peanut butter cookie:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup peanut butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
FOR THE BROWNIE PORTION:
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
COMBINE into a bowl melted butter and sugars (¼ cup unsalted butter 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar) till combined.
THEN add in egg and vanilla, once combined stir in dry ingredients and chocolate chips (1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup dark cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips). Congrats you just made brownies, set aside.
FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE PORTION:
INTO a separate bowl combine melted butter and peanut butter (6 tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ cup peanut butter) then stir till combined. Once combined, add in sugars (1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup sugar) and stir till fully incorporated- at this point add in egg and vanilla (1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla).
ADD in dry ingredients (1 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon salt).
TO FINISH:
TRADITIONAL brookies are layered, so feel free to pour into prepared pan in layers. I marbled mine, to do this portion out each batter sporadically and then pat down with fingers.
BAKE at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes till golden around the edges and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
