How to Make Praline Brookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Prepare one box of brownie mix according to package directions, using the specified amounts of oil, water, and eggs.
  4. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. While the brownies bake, prepare the praline topping: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup pecan halves, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and set aside until the brownies are baked.
  9. Once the brownies have baked for 25 minutes, pour the praline mixture evenly over the top.
  10. Prepare 1 package (16.5 oz) of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough. Cut the dough crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then cut each piece into 4 slices.
  11. Arrange the cookie dough slices on top of the praline layer in 3 rows of 5 slices, using the last slice to fill any gaps.
  12. Bake for an additional 23-28 minutes, or until the cookie dough is golden brown and the brownies are fully cooked.
  13. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
