Directions for Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Prepare pans for baking, I use silpats and perforated pans from Demarle. I am a Demale consultant and can sell you these items if interesting...these products are amazing!

2. When brownies are cooled, cut into small squares.

3. Scoop a small amount of cookie dough, place a piece of brownie on top and then top with another scoop of cookie dough. 

4. Slightly flatten cookies to distribute brownie (I did not do this enough and mine ended up with a lump of brownie in them...still delicious.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 18 minutes. 

6. Pour a HUGE glass of milk and chow down...I dare you to try to eat two!

OUTCOME: Excellent
