Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 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
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Make the Brownie Batter: Whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until combined.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla extract, then gradually add flour and mini chocolate chips.
- Layer the Cookie Dough: Spread the cookie dough evenly over the cooled brownies and press gently.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding the cookie dough layer to prevent melting.
- For a different twist, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt or extra mini chocolate chips on top.
