Ingredients
- Brownie Layer: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted; 1 cup granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Cookie Layer: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed; 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, then sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually fold in flour, baking soda, salt, then chocolate chips.
- Pour brownie batter into pan and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over brownie layer, spreading gently.
- Bake 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool 10-15 minutes, then lift from pan using parchment overhang. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For an extra chocolatey treat, add more chocolate chips to either layer. These brookies pair well with vanilla ice cream!
