Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Layer
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, and whisk in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread in pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Layer
- Cream the butter and sugars: In another bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
- Layer the cookie dough: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently spread it with a spatula or your fingers to cover as much of the brownie layer as possible. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect!
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely: Let the brookie cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Tips for Success:
- Don’t overbake: You want the brownie layer to stay fudgy, so keep an eye on it as it bakes. The edges should be set, but the center should still be slightly gooey.
- Chill for perfect slicing: For clean slices, allow the brookie to cool completely, or even chill it in the fridge for an hour before cutting.
- Customize: Add nuts, caramel, or even M&M’s to the cookie dough for extra texture and flavor.
