Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancer:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C), preparing a 9-inch round pizza pan with a light grease or parchment paper lining.
- Create the cookie foundation by whisking flour, baking powder, and salt in one mixing vessel, then cream butter with both sugars until airy and light.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla into the butter mixture, then gently fold in the dry ingredients until a cohesive dough forms.
- Smoothly press the cookie dough across the entire prepared pan, ensuring an even, consistent layer.
- For the brownie layer, gently melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, then remove from warmth and whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Blend cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the butter mixture until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Carefully spread the rich brownie batter across the cookie base, maintaining an even distribution.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for set edges and a slightly trembling center.
- Allow the dessert to cool completely within the pan, developing its intricate texture.
- Craft the peanut butter drizzle by combining creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Once cooled, artfully drizzle the peanut butter mixture across the surface and slice into 8-10 elegant servings.
Notes
- Perfectly balance the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels in both cookie crust and brownie topping according to personal taste preferences.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour for a lighter, health-conscious dessert.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top or incorporating dark chocolate chips into the brownie batter for depth.
- Try alternative nut butters like almond or cashew butter for a unique twist on the classic peanut butter drizzle.
