  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) cocoa powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  • Prepare the Brownie Batter
    Melt the butter in a microwave or saucepan and let it cool slightly.In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently until no streaks remain. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Cookie Dough
    In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
  • Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
  • Assemble the Brookies
    Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie layer, spreading it gently to cover as much of the brownie layer as possible. Don’t worry about perfection; a marbled look works too!
  • Bake
    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool and Slice
    Allow the brookies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares or bars, and serve!
