Ingredients

  • For the brownie layer:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional)
  • For the cookie layer:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the brownie layer: In a bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated and brown sugars. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using. Spread into prepared pan.
  3. Make the cookie layer: In another bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter. Gently spread to cover as evenly as possible.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the brownie layer for texture.
  • Try white chocolate or peanut butter chips for variation.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty finish.
  • Double the recipe and use a 9×13-inch pan for larger gatherings.
  • Shortcut: Use your favorite boxed brownie mix for the base.
