FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH:
-
4
Cut the butter and shortening in to chunks.
-
5
Beat the butter and shorting on a medium speed until creamy.
-
6
Add the sugar and carry on blending.
-
7
Add the 2 eggs and the egg yolk.
-
8
Add the vanilla extract, blend well.
-
9
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Then add the flour mixture in slowly, a table spoon at a time, making sure it's all blended in before adding the next.

Add the 3 cups of chocolate chips, stir them in well and then cover and place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.

After one hour, get two desert spoons and a jug of warm water. Dip the spoons in to get them wet then shape a ball of dough and place it on a sheet of grease proof paper. (If you don't wet the spoons the mixture is very sticky and hard to work with. Make sure they are a good 2 inches apart because they grow when cooking.)

Next with a wet teaspoon, make a dent in the middle of each ball, Then take a teaspoon of cooked brownie and make a ball out of it in your hand. Place it in the middle of the dough mixture.

This next part gets messy. Wet the teaspoon and reshape the dough in to a ball so it engulfs the brownie.
-
14
Put in to a preheated 350f oven for 12 to 15 minutes, checking frequently as they can over cook very easy. I found 10 to 12 minutes in a convection oven leaves them slightly chewy and GOOD!
