Description

A favorite family recipe from my Grandma. A cross between a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie, they’re a little crisp on the outside and then you bite into them and they’re soft and chewy and oh, so good!

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cups Vegetable Oil
  • 2-¼ cups Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 2-⅔ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Chopped Nuts

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan or line the pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix together oil and brown sugar. Then add the eggs one at a time and beat until smooth.

In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients and then add them to the brown sugar mixture. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Spread batter into prepared baking pan. Batter will be thick!

Bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.*

Remove from oven and let cool before removing from pan. Cut into squares and enjoy.

* One thing I’ve noticed is the baking time REALLY depends on your oven. When my Mom bakes these in her oven they take exactly 25 minutes. But when I make these in my oven they take a little longer, about 30 minutes, and I like mine still a little underbaked (they set up nicely as they cool). Check them at 25 minutes and if the toothpick has lots of batter clinging to it just pop them back in and check them after about another 5 minutes.

I grew up with my mom making these, but she used 2/3 cup melted butter and 1 tsp vanilla. I’ll try your version and compare.

if the brownies are as good as the batter, I’m in trouble! We post rating after they finish cooking. I changed them up a bit.

I decided to try these when we wanted brownies but realized we were out of cocoa. They are delicious! Everyone in our house has decided to call them cookie brownies.

good and really easy! the batter was definitely thick (almost thought i was doing something wrong) and the brownies were dense and chewy.

I made these brownies yesterday and everyone loved them! They were so sweet (maybe too sweet), I’m going to have to detox today, but thank you for the delicious, chewy brownie.
