Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Batter:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup light brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Cookie Dough:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • ½ cup light brown sugar

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate for the brownie batter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.

  • Whisk in the granulated and brown sugars. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.

  • Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Set aside.

  • In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for the cookie dough.

  • Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.

  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.

  • Fold in the chocolate chips.

  • Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the top and gently press down.

  • Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

  • Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then slice and serve once fully cooled.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey center, slightly underbake.

  • Add chopped nuts, caramel, or espresso powder for variation.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
