Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand Mixer or Whisk
  • 9x9 Baking Dish
  • Parchment Paper
  • Offset Spatula (optional)

Ingredients
  

Brownie Layer Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Cookie Layer Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • For the brownie layer: In a bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and salt, mixing just until combined. Set aside.
  • For the cookie layer: In another bowl, cream softened butter with brown and white sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
  • Spread brownie batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the top and gently spread to mostly cover the brownie batter.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

For extra defined layers, chill the cookie dough before layering. Customize with nuts, peanut butter chips, or your favorite mix-ins!
