Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

What you need:

    • 1 box brownie mix
    • 2 sticks butter, softened
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 Tbsp. vanilla
    • 3 1/2 cups flour
    • 1 tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. baking soda
    • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
    • Coarse sea salt (optional; it's a must after having NY Times cookies)

Directions:

    1. Prepare brownies according to box directions and cool completely. Cut into small 1 1/2 inch squares.
    2. After the brownies are ready (cooled and cut), beat together butter and sugars until fluffy.
    3. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until well combined.
    4. Stir together flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
    5. Add to wet ingredients and then mix in chocolate chips.
    6. Take a large portion of the dough and flatten out in your hand.
    7. Place a piece of brownie on it.
    8. Take a slightly less large portion of dough and place on top. Smooth with your hands. I found it easier to almost form it back into a ball and then flatten slightly. You should get 12 to 16 cookies out of the dough.
    9. Place on a lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with sea salt.
    10. Bake at 350* for 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes and then remove to a wire rack.
