Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Make the brownie layer: In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, whisk until smooth. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Make the cookie layer: In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently spread or press to cover most of the surface.
- Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, underbake by 2 minutes and cool in the pan.
- You can also swirl the two batters together for a marbled effect.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
