Cookie Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  5. 5

    Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Brownie Directions

  1. 6

    Prepare Brownie Batter

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

  2. 7

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 8

    Combine with Eggs and Vanilla

    Stir the melted butter into the dry mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 9

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the brownie batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. 10

    Cool Brownies

    Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan.

Assembling the Tray

  1. 11

    Form Cookies

    Once the cookie dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out small balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space in between.

  2. 12

    Bake Cookies

    Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

  3. 13

    Cut Brownies

    Once the brownies are completely cooled, cut them into 6 equal squares.

  4. 14

    Arrange on Tray

    On a serving tray, arrange 6 cookies and 6 brownie squares, alternating them for a visually appealing presentation.
