Simple Brownie with Cookie Crust


So what do you do when you mess up a cookie recipe and it gets a little burnt and spreads into one huge flat cookie? Then when you try to pull it of the parchment paper, because you couldn't find the foil, it falls apart and sticks every where! I'll tell you what you do- crumble the burnt cookie and sprinkle it on the bottom of a 9x13 pan and then google the simplest oil and cocoa brownie recipe and make brownies with a cookie crust.

Essentially you can do this with any cookie, not just a messed up one. I used a honey oatmeal chocolate cookie from White On Rice Couple. I added some heath bar chips to that cookie. My brownie recipe is literally the easiest thing ever. I got that from squidoo. I added extra salt to the crumbled cookies to get a salty/chocolatey contrast going on.

Brownie Ingredients:

1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
4 Large eggs

1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
2/3 cup Coco Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup flour

Method:

Preheat oven to 350.
Grease and flour a 9x13 pan.
Crumble about an inch of cookies on the bottom of the pan.
Shake a bit of salt on top of the cookie if you want to do the salty/sweet thing.
Set the pan aside and make the brownie mix.
Mix the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla till they are well blended.
Mix all the dry ingredients together separately.
Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
Pour into prepared pan and make sure the brownie is completely covering the cookie, you may have to spread with spatula.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
