Chocolate Chip Brownie Pillows
- 1 package Brownie Mix
- 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cups Butter Flavoured Shortening
- 1-1/2 cup Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
- 2 whole Large Eggs
- 1 whole Egg Yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2-1/2 cups Unbleached All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 3 cups Chocolate Chips
- Make the brownie as per the instructions on the box, they generally take about 40 minutes to cook.
- Take out the oven and set aside to cool.
- FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH:
- Cut the butter and shortening in to chunks.
- Beat the butter and shorting on a medium speed until creamy.
- Add the sugar and carry on blending.
- Add the 2 eggs and the egg yolk.
- Add the vanilla extract, blend well.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Then add the flour mixture in slowly, a table spoon at a time, making sure it's all blended in before adding the next.
- Add the 3 cups of chocolate chips, stir them in well and then cover and place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
- After one hour, get two desert spoons and a jug of warm water. Dip the spoons in to get them wet then shape a ball of dough and place it on a sheet of grease proof paper. (If you don't wet the spoons the mixture is very sticky and hard to work with. Make sure they are a good 2 inches apart because they grow when cooking.)
- Next with a wet teaspoon, make a dent in the middle of each ball, Then take a teaspoon of cooked brownie and make a ball out of it in your hand. Place it in the middle of the dough mixture.
- This next part gets messy. Wet the teaspoon and reshape the dough in to a ball so it engulfs the brownie.
- Put in to a preheated 350f oven for 12 to 15 minutes, checking frequently as they can over cook very easy. I found 10 to 12 minutes in a convection oven leaves them slightly chewy and GOOD!
- Enjoy!!
