COOKIE DOUGH BROWNIES.
These treats combine the oh-so-delicious cookie dough with a dense and chocolatey brownie base. These are super sweet but also super tasty.
Ingredients...
For the cookie dough...
200g plain flour
150g caster sugar
150g soft brown sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
100g butter
200g dark chocolate chips
a little milk (if needed)
For the brownies...
50g butter
75g caster sugar
50g soft brown sugar
40g golden syrup
150g dark chocolate
2 eggs
40g plain flour
Method...
Line an 8" square tin and preheat the oven to 180 degres/160 fan/gas 5.
Make the brownies by gently melting together the butter, caster sugar, soft brown sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan until the mixture is smooth. Melt into this mixture the chocolate and then take off the heat. Stir in the eggs and then the flour.
Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 15-20 minutes. When it is cooked, the cake should start to crack at the edges and the top should change from glossy to a matt finish. Leave the brownies to cool completely in the tin.
Once the brownies have cooled - beat together in a bowl the butter and sugars until well combined. Add in the vanilla and then mix in the flour (adding a tablespoon or two of milk if the mixture is too stiff). Stir in the chocolate chips.
Squash this mixture into the brownie tin and press down onto the brownie base. This then needs to be chilled for about 1 hour until it can be sliced up and scoffed.
This bake keeps best in the fridge.
Makes 20 small pieces.
