Instructions
 

Fudgy Brownie

  • In a double boiler add your ¾ cup chocolate chips and butter and mix until melted. Take off heat and set aside. 
  • In a large bowl combine your sugar, eggs, vanilla and mix until combined. Slowly add your chocolate mixture while continuously mixing. Then add your flour, cocoa powder and mix until combined. Add your additional ⅓ cup chocolate chips and fold in until combined.
  • Line a 9”x9” baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the side for easy removal.
  • Pour your brownie batter into your pan and set aside.

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat your butter until soft and airy. Add your sugar and brown sugar and beat until combined. Add your egg and vanilla and beat until combined. In the same bowl add your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined. Add your peanut butter and chocolate chips and mix until combined. 
  • Scoop out your cookie dough and layer it on top of your brownie batter until all of your dough is on top.
  • Once the peanut butter cookie dough is on top, slightly press the dough into the brownie batter so that the brownie batter rises and fills in the cracks.
  • Open up all of your peanut butter cups and cut them into quarters. Then press them into your cookie dough.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 27 minutes.
  • Take out and let cool. Slice into 16 pieces. Enjoy!
