Brownie Ingredients

  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Bean Extract
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ cup Cocoa Powder
  • ¼ cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Unsalted Butter - softened
  • ¾ cup Light Brown Sugar - lightly packed
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Bean Extract
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a standard 9×13″ baking pan by lining with parchment paper or spraying with cooking oil.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments until the butter is fully melted. Next, stir in the granulated sugar and mix for 2-3 minutes until fully combined.
  • Slowly mix in the eggs, one at a time. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before moving on to the next one. Then mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Add in the flour and cocoa powder and mix until well-combined. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and make sure they are spread evenly throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and set aside.
  • To begin the cookie layer, cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with your electric or stand mixer until it is light and fluffy***.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract and beat the mixture well.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Carefully add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Take your time and mix in the dry ingredients slowly. Then, mix until a consistently soft dough forms. Finally, carefully mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop out the dough into rounded balls using a dough scoop, a spoon, or your hands. Grab the brownie pan from earlier. Drop the rounded cookie dough over the brownie layer, leaving some gaps in between.
  • Bake @ 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie dough areas are golden brown and the brownie layer is set. Carefully, remove the brookies from the oven and allow them to cool ~ 10-15 minutes before cutting into pieces for serving.

Notes

Tips
*For me, it took two 30 second intervals to melt the butter, stirring in between.
**Make sure the batter has a smooth consistency without any lumps.
***This should take around 2-3 minutes.
