1
Begin by making the cookie dough. Cream the butter with the sugars and vanilla.
-
2
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
-
3
Form dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a cookie sheet (16 balls will be used in this recipe). The rest can be saved for later. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer and begin to make the brownies.
-
4
In a bowl over simmering water melt the butter and the chocolate chips.
-
5
In a separate bowl beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla. When the chocolate is melted and cooled, add it to the egg mixture. Mix in the flour and salt.
-
6
Spread the brownie batter into a 8x8x2 parchment lined pan.
-
7
Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. (**see below for alternate cooking times)
-
8
Remove the brownies from the oven and very quickly drop in the 16 balls of frozen cookie dough. The balls should be placed in rows of 4 and they should be spaced evenly in the pan.
-
9
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes. The brownie batter should be done when a toothpick inserted into the chocolate batter comes out almost clean.
-
10
Cool the brownies in the pan before cutting.
-
11
When completely cool, cut the brownies into 16 pieces. Wrap each individual brownie in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.

**NOTE: If you like the flavor of cookie dough, then do not add the frozen balls of chocolate chip cookie dough until the last 15 minutes of baking.
