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

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. For the brownie layer: Whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk again.
  3. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until fully combined. Spread evenly in the pan.
  4. For the cookie layer: Cream softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  5. Add egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips, then drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer, spreading gently.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cookie top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely before lifting out and slicing into squares.
