Brownie Cookie Swirl Cuts Recipe

Introduction

Brownie Cookie Swirls combine the rich, fudgy flavor of brownies with the classic chewiness of chocolate chip cookies in a fun, swirled treat. These delightful swirls are perfect for anyone who loves the best of both desserts in one bite.

Ingredients

• 1 package (16.5 ounces) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
• 1 box (16.3 ounces) brownie mix
• ¼ cup (54.5 g) vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Step 1: Roll out cookie dough. On a sheet of parchment paper, press or roll the refrigerated cookie dough into a large rectangle measuring about 9 by 13 inches, around ¼-inch thick.
2. Step 2: Mix brownie batter. In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Stir until a thick, spreadable batter forms.
3. Step 3: Spread brownie batter over dough. Spoon about ¾ cup of the brownie batter evenly over the cookie dough rectangle, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it gently.
4. Step 4: Roll the dough. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log, similar to rolling a cinnamon roll.
5. Step 5: Wrap and chill. Wrap the log tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm enough to slice cleanly.
6. Step 6: Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets. Heat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Step 7: Slice into swirls. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into ¾-inch thick slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart.
8. Step 8: Bake. Bake the swirls for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the centers are set but still soft.
9. Step 9: Cool before serving. Let the swirls cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• For extra fudge flavor, swirl in a few tablespoons of chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the baked swirls.
• Use your favorite cookie dough flavor for variation, such as peanut butter or oatmeal raisin.
• Be sure to chill the log well before slicing; this makes cleaner cuts and beautiful swirls.

Storage

Store the cooled brownie cookie swirls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes to restore softness.

FAQs

Can I use homemade cookie dough instead of refrigerated dough?

Yes, homemade cookie dough works well. Just be sure it’s chilled and firm enough to roll out into a rectangle for shaping the swirls.

What kind of brownie mix should I use?

Any standard boxed brownie mix will work. Choose your favorite brand and type—fudgy or cakey—to suit your preference.

Scale 1x2x3x

Cookie Dough

• 1 package (16.5 ounces) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

Brownie Batter

• 1 box (16.3 ounces) brownie mix
• ¼ cup (54.5 g) vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Roll out cookie dough: On a sheet of parchment paper, press or roll the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough into a large rectangle measuring about 9×13 inches and approximately ¼-inch thick to create a flat base for the brownie batter.
2. Mix brownie batter: In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Stir thoroughly until a thick, spreadable batter forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Spread brownie batter over dough: Spoon about ¾ cup of the prepared brownie batter over the cookie dough rectangle. Gently spread it evenly using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges free of batter.
4. Roll dough into log: Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough and brownie batter layer into a log shape, similar to rolling a cinnamon roll, making sure to keep it tight but not squeezing out the batter.
5. Wrap log and chill: Wrap the rolled log tightly in plastic wrap and freeze it for 1 hour. Alternatively, refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the log is firm enough to slice cleanly.
6. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
7. Slice into swirls: Using a sharp knife, slice the chilled log into ¾-inch thick rounds. Arrange the swirls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
8. Bake: Bake the cookie and brownie swirls in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set but remain soft for the perfect texture.
9. Cool: Let the swirls cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Notes

• Ensure the eggs are at room temperature before mixing with the brownie batter for a smoother consistency.
• For easier slicing, freeze the log instead of refrigerating if short on time.
• Do not overbake to maintain soft centers in the swirls.
• Use an offset spatula to spread the brownie batter evenly for better rolling results.
• Store baked swirls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
