Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips

- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- Make the Brownie Batter: Whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk until glossy. Stir in cocoa, flour, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Spread evenly in prepared pan. (Tip: Don’t overmix — this keeps the brownies fudgy.)
- Make the Cookie Dough: Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Layer & Bake: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over brownie batter. Press gently with fingertips to spread. Bake 30–35 minutes, until edges are golden and center is slightly soft. Cool completely before slicing.
- Serve: Slice into squares and enjoy with ice cream or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce.
