Ingredients

Brownie Batter:

  • 1 1/3 cup White granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 5 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup Oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (dutch process)
  • 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 Peanut butter (creamy)
  • 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 Cookies: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together on medium speed for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and mix for another minute. Incorporate vanilla extract and egg until combined, scraping the bowl and mixing again for 20 seconds.
  2. Combine Monster Cookie Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold in the oats, mini chocolate chips, and mini M&M’s. Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for 40 minutes to firm up.
  3. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: When cookie dough is nearly done chilling, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9×9 inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray and line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  4. Mix Brownie Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
  5. Beat Brownie Wet Ingredients: Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on medium-high for 5 minutes until the mixture is very light and fluffy. Meanwhile, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
  6. Combine Brownie Batter: Add melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Gently fold in the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter. Fold in semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
  7. Assemble Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth into corners with a rubber spatula. Bake for 15 minutes to set the top lightly.
  8. Add Cookie Dough Topping: Remove cookie dough from the fridge, take small handfuls, and flatten them into discs. Place the discs evenly over the brownie layer. Return the pan to the oven.
  9. Bake Final: Bake for an additional 20 minutes. Then, loosely cover the pan with foil to prevent over-browning, and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cookie and brownie layers are fully set with no jiggle.
  10. Cool and Serve: Transfer the brownies to a cooling rack and let cool completely to room temperature before slicing. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs for the monster cookie dough and brownie batter are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Chilling the cookie dough is essential to prevent it from melting into the brownie layer.
  • Lining the pan with parchment makes it easier to lift out the entire brownie slab for cutting.
  • Be gentle when folding dry ingredients into the brownie batter to retain airiness and achieve fudgy texture.
  • Use Dutch-process cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor in the brownies.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
