How to Make The Best Cookie Dough Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
In a medium bowl, prepare the cookie dough: Cream together ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter and ½ cup packed brown sugar. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Add 1 cup all-purpose flour and ½ cup rolled oats. Mix until a dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently swirl it in.
Bake for 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm with a glass of cold milk!
