Pralinebrookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat softened butter, light brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a large bowl until creamy. Add 1 egg; beat until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until dough is combined. Stir chocolate chips into dough. Spread dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to cover completely.
• Stir 1 cup white sugar, melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl; add 2 eggs and beat well. Mix cocoa powder into butter mixture until well-combined. Stir 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt into cocoa mixture until batter is combined. Pour brownie batter over cookie dough and spread to cover completely.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brookies comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Spray 9 x 13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Make brownie mix as directed on box, using oil, water and eggs.
• Spread batter evenly in pan.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• In a 2-quart saucepan, heat butter, milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pecans and vanilla to boiling, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to med-low; simmer 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat; set aside, until brownies are baked.
• Immediately pour praline mixture evenly over partially baked brownies.
• Cut cookie dough crosswise into 4 equal pieces; cut each piece into 4 slices.
• Carefully place slices in 3 rows of 5 slices each, using last slice to fill in spaces (spaces between cookie dough pieces will spread during baking to cover top.
• Bake 23-28 minutes longer or until cookie dough is deep golden brown.
• Cool 2 hours.

Steps:

• For the brownie batter: Preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Spray the bottom and sides of the pan lightly with cooking spray.
• Melt the chopped chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then stir in both sugars and cool slightly. Next, stir in the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined, then stir in the vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt until just combined and no lumps remain. Set aside.
• For the cookie dough batter: Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk the brown sugar, vanilla and melted butter in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in the egg and yolk until combined. Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture with a rubber spatula until just incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spread the brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Dollop the cookie dough batter on top of the brownie batter, then draw a skewer or butter knife through both batters to create a swirled effect. Bake until the edges have set, the top is glossy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean and with just a couple small crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Place the baking dish on a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brookies out of the baking dish and onto a cutting board. Cut into 24 small squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease a 13x9" baking tin and line with a piece of parchment paper that overhangs the two long sides. Secure in place with metal clips.
• For the peanut butter cookie layer, mix the peanut butter and brown sugar together in a large bowl for a couple of minutes until combined and slightly lightened. Add the egg and egg yolks and beat together for a further 2-3 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients (reserving 3 tablespoons of the peanuts for sprinkling over later) and gently mix together to form a uniform cookie dough. Spread the cookie dough in an even layer in the prepared tin, then set aside.
• For the brownie layer, add the butter and cocoa to a small saucepan over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside. Place the sugars, salt, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl and whisk together with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened and pale. Pour in the melted butter mixture, mixing briefly until combined, then fold in the flour. Pour the batter over the cookie layer and spread into an even layer, then sprinkle over the reserved peanuts.
• Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Leave the brookies to cool completely in the tin, before using the parchment paper to lift them from the tin and cutting into squares.Store in a sealed container for 3-4 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment, with ends of parchment extending over sides.
• Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Add 2 cups sugar, 3 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla; mix well. Stir in flour. Pour into prepared pan.
• Beat remaining egg in medium bowl with mixer until foamy. Add all remaining ingredients, including remaining sugar and vanilla; mix well. Drop in large spoonfuls evenly over brownie batter in pan.
• Bake 20 min.; cover. Bake an additional 20 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool completely. Use parchment handles to remove brownie from pan before cutting to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray, line with parchment paper, then spray the parchment.
• For the peanut butter cookie base: Whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and then stir in the brown sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in the egg white and vanilla until fully combined. Stir in the flour mixture and peanuts until combined, then transfer the dough into the prepared pan.
• Use a rubber spatula or your fingers to press the dough into an even layer. Bake until the cookie puffs up and the edges are light golden, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the brownie batter.
• For the brownie batter: Put the butter in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until melted and bubbling, about 1 minute. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the butter is light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the browned butter to a heat-resistant medium bowl and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth. Stir in the brown sugar, cocoa powder, hot water and salt until combined. Stir in the eggs, yolk and vanilla until the eggs are fully incorporated. Stir in the flour until completely combined and the batter is thick and shiny. Pour the batter over the just baked peanut butter cookie base and spread it with a rubber spatula or spoon until smooth.
• Lower the oven to 300 degrees F and bake until a toothpick inserted about 3 inches from the edge of the pan comes out with fudgy crumbs, but no raw batter, 40 to 43 minutes. Let cool completely, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
• To finish: Melt the peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 10 second intervals, stirring after each, until it has the consistency of a smooth sauce, about 20 to 25 seconds total. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag, snip off the tip and drizzle the peanut butter sauce over the bars. Sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips and then slice into 16 squares. The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
