Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 1 cup dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa for a rich flavor)
- 1/2 cup salted butter (Melted)
- 1 cup brown sugar (Packed)
- 2 large eggs (Room temperature)
- 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (For richness)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (Do not overmix)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cookie Layer
- 1/2 cup salted butter (Softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (Packed)
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg (Room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (Semi-sweet)
Instructions
Prepare Brownie Layer
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in the microwave, stirring in short bursts until smooth.
- Whisk in the brown sugar until fully combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking until thick and glossy.
- Fold in cocoa powder, flour, and salt gently until just combined.
Prepare Cookie Layer
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips. If overly sticky, chill dough for 15-20 minutes.
Assemble and Bake
- Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Scoop dollops of cookie dough over the brownie layer.
- Gently swirl the cookie dough into the brownie batter with a knife.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set but the middle is slightly underdone.
- Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into bars.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best freshness, add a slice of bread to keep them moist.
