• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

OR

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Reece's Filling:

• 24 Reece's (you might have too many or too little Reece's depending on how much cookie dough and brownie batter you use)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350º.


Cookie Dough Layer:

Mix and cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides continuously. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder on low speed until everything is mixed in. Fold in the chocolate chips. 

Brownie Layer:

Beat the eggs with sugar, and then add the vanilla. Mix in the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Make sure the brownies are well mixed, with no powder clumps. Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center has no batter on it, and comes out clean with a few crumbs. Let cool completely before frosting.

Assemble:

Spray two, 12 cupcake pans with cooking spray. Press about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into the bottom of each cupcake pan. Push one Reece's down into the cookie dough, just before the Reece's is even with the cookie dough. Pour 1 1/2 tablespoon of brownie batter over the Reece's and cookie dough. 

Put the Reece's Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies in the oven for 18 to 21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the brownie layer comes out with a few crumbs and no liquidly batter at all. Let cool for 10 minutes and then take a knife and follow around the edges of the brownies to loosen it up for an easier removal. Let the brownies completely cool before taking out of the cupcake pans.
