Instructions
Preparation of Brownie Layer
- In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, eggs, melted butter, and chocolate chips. Mix gently until combined, ensuring not to overmix.
Prepare the Pan
- Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the brownie batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
Preparation of Cookie Layer
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter-flavored Crisco with the packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract, milk, and a large egg to the creamed mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, kosher salt, baking soda, and cinnamon to the cookie dough. Mix slowly until combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate morsels into the cookie dough.
Assemble and Bake
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie layer, spacing them out.
- Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for about 25 minutes. The brownie layer should still be fudgy.
Cool and Serve
