Ingredients
Scale
- Brownie Layer
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Cookie Layer
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the brownie batter: In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add cocoa powder, flour, and salt, and mix until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
- Make the cookie dough: In another bowl, cream softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently spread to cover as much of the surface as possible.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool completely before slicing into squares for perfect layers.
Notes
- Let it cool completely before slicing to ensure clean layers.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- For a fudgier center, bake closer to 35 minutes; for a cakier texture, bake toward 40 minutes.
- You can freeze baked bars for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
- Customize with chopped nuts or an extra handful of chocolate chips if desired.
