- Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to the egg mixture until well combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into the three pans and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
- Remove brownies from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to cool on wire rack.

To make the cookie dough:
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

- Add 1 cup flour and mix until combined.
- Add milk and up to an additional 1/3 cup of flour to preferred thickness.
- Stir in sprinkles and chocolate chips. Dough will be thick. Set aside.
