Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

Step 2: Make the Brownie Batter

  • In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, then stir until just combined.
  • Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Step 3: Make the Cookie Dough

  • In another bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
  • Add in egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  • Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold in chocolate chips.

Step 4: Assemble & Bake

  • Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer and gently spread.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Let cool before slicing into bars.

Pro Tips:

  • ✔ Chill before slicing for cleaner cuts.

Storage & Freezing Tips:
