Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1 1/3 cup White granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 5 TBSP Unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup Canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1 TBSP Cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Milk chocolate chips

Monster Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
  • 1/8 cup White granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Quick oats
  • 1/2 cup Mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Mini M&M’s

Instructions

  1. Prepare Monster Cookie Dough: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, using a mixer, beat the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add peanut butter and beat an additional minute. Mix in vanilla extract and egg until well combined, scraping the bowl and mixing for another 20 seconds. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Fold in oats, mini M&M’s, and mini chocolate chips. Cover the dough and chill for 40 minutes.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: When the cookie dough is almost done chilling, preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper for easy removal. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, beat sugar, eggs, and egg yolk with a whisk attachment for 5 minutes until very light and fluffy. Meanwhile, melt butter and let it cool slightly. Add melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Gently fold in the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula to retain airiness, then stir in semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
  3. Bake Brownie Base: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 15 minutes until the top is just set but not fully baked.
  4. Add Monster Cookie Dough: Remove cookie dough from the fridge. Take small handfuls and flatten them into disc shapes. Place these cookie dough discs evenly over the partially baked brownie layer, covering the surface.
  5. Finish Baking: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Then, loosely cover with foil to prevent over-browning and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until both the cookie dough and brownies are set with no jiggle.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature before slicing and serving. Store at room temperature for best texture.

Notes

  • For high altitude baking, add 1/2 tablespoon of flour to both the brownie and cookie dough mixtures to improve texture.
  • Use spooned and leveled flour measurements or a kitchen scale to avoid adding too much flour, which can dry out the brownies.
  • If using an 8×8-inch pan, expect thicker brownies; baking time may need slight adjustment.
  • For peanut or tree nut allergies, substitute peanut butter with cookie butter or sunbutter.
