Ingredients
Scale
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
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 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- Make the brownie layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until fully incorporated. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Make the cookie layer: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble and bake: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently spread or flatten with a spatula. 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 and serve: Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Chill before cutting for cleaner edges.
- For extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
