Assembly
Step 3 - Assembly
Preheat oven at 350°F/180°C.
Grease your tart pan with a little butter.
Roll out the cookie dough (about 1/8 inch/4 mm thick) and carefully transfer it into the tart pan. If it breaks don’t worry, just make sure to press it nicely into the tart pan.
If you have leftover dough, you can cut out cookies and bake them, after you’ve baked the tart, for about 8-10 minutes. Store it in the fridge until using.
Fill the brownie batter into the prepared tart crust and smooth it down with a spoon or spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. If the brownie filling begins to crack, reduce the heat to 338°F/170°C.
Let cool down completely before carefully removing the tart from the pan..
