Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Brownies
Preheat your oven according to your brownie recipe or box instructions.
Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Prepare and bake the brownie batter as directed.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the cookie dough layer.

Step 2: Make the Edible Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, beating until smooth.
Gradually mix in the heat-treated flour until fully incorporated.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 3: Assemble the Cookie Dough Brownies
Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the cookie dough evenly over the brownie layer using a spatula.
Smooth the top nicely.

Step 4: Chill
Refrigerate the assembled brownies for at least 1-2 hours to firm up the cookie dough layer.

Step 5: Slice and Serve
Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan.
Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Cool Brownies Completely – Warm brownies will melt the cookie dough layer.
Use Heat-Treated Flour – This step ensures your cookie dough is safe to eat.
Chill for Clean Cuts – Chilling firms up the layers for easier slicing.
Use Mini Chips – They distribute more evenly through the cookie dough.
