Step 7: Shape

Take 2 baking plates and cover them with parchment paper

Step 10: Conclusion

The bright side is the chocolate chip cookie of course. It is sweet, soft - melty with a buttery taste and simply a proper cookie with chocolate chips.

The dark side is the brownie. It has this typical full chocolate flavour which turns out nicely creamy in your mouth.

As it is no brownie as such but in the shape of a cookie, the edges are a little crunchy which is a nice extra.
