Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, melted (for brownie layer)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened (for cookie layer)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, and vanilla for the brownie layer.
Stir in cocoa powder, 1/2 cup flour, and salt until smooth; spread evenly into the prepared pan.
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and remaining granulated sugar for the cookie layer.
Beat in the egg and vanilla, then stir in 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently press to create an even layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
For an extra touch, sprinkle with flaky sea salt once removed from the oven. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Use Dutch-processed cocoa for the most intense chocolate color and flavor.
