Ingredients
Brownie Layer:
8 oz dark chocolate (60–70% cacao), chopped
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
Cookie Layer:
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips (½ cup semi-sweet + ½ cup milk chocolate)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
Make brownie batter: Melt chocolate and butter together. Stir in both sugars, then eggs and vanilla. Whisk dry ingredients separately and fold into wet mixture. Spread in pan.
Make cookie dough: Cream butter and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients and combine with wet. Fold in chocolate chips.
Assemble: Drop cookie dough over brownie batter and gently spread to cover.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick inserted has moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Cool completely in the pan. Lift with parchment, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
For cleaner cuts, refrigerate browkies for 1 hour before slicing.
Add ½ tsp espresso powder to the brownie batter to intensify chocolate flavor.
For gluten-free version, use a 1:1 GF flour blend with xanthan gum.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days or refrigerate for 1 week.
