Scale
- For the brownie layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- For the cookie layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the brownie layer: In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Make the cookie layer: In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer and gently spread or press down to cover most of the surface.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough for 10–15 minutes before layering if it’s too soft to handle.
- Use a mix of chocolate chips and chunks for texture variety.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Let cool completely before slicing for clean edges.
