Ingredients
Scale
🍪 Cookie Layer:
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
🍫 Brownie Layer:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 6 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prep the Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch pan with baking spray, line with parchment paper, and spray again.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat butter with both sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Mix in dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips. Set aside.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt butter and chopped chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar. Then whisk in eggs one at a time. Stir in cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla. Fold in flour with a spatula.
- Assemble: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Crumble the cookie dough evenly over the top.
- Bake: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 28–30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool & Serve: Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.
Notes
Do not overbake—it’s better to err on the side of gooey for these bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
