Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup plain flour (brownie layer)
- 1 cup plain flour (cookie layer)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
Fats and Liquids:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted, brownie layer)
- 1/2 cup soft butter (cookie layer)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips for topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (cookie layer)
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup white sugar (cookie layer)
- Extra chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8-inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring excess hangs over the sides for easy removal.
- Create the brownie base by whisking melted butter with sugar until well combined, then incorporate eggs and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Sift cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet mixture, gently folding until ingredients are just integrated without overmixing.
- Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared pan, spreading evenly, and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely at room temperature, which typically takes about 1 hour.
- Prepare the cookie dough by creaming soft butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, then mix in milk and vanilla extract.
- Gradually incorporate flour into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms, then fold in chocolate chips evenly.
- Carefully spread the cookie dough layer over the cooled brownie base, creating a smooth, even surface.
- Refrigerate the layered dessert for 30 minutes to firm up the cookie dough.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the chilled surface and sprinkle additional chocolate chips for decoration.
- Once the chocolate has set, cut into bite-sized squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality cocoa and chocolate chips to elevate the richness and depth of flavor in your brownie bites.
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture integration.
- Avoid overmixing the brownie batter to prevent tough, dense brownies; stop mixing when ingredients are just combined.
- Use parchment paper overhang as an easy lifting tool when removing the dessert from the pan, ensuring clean and precise cutting.
