Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 1 cup Unsalted butter Melted
- 1½ cups Granulated sugar
- 3 Eggs Large
- 1 Egg yolk
- ¾ cup Cocoa powder Unsweetened
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- ½ tsp Salt
Cookie Dough Layer
- ½ cup Unsalted butter Softened
- ½ cup Brown sugar Packed
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour Heat-treated for safety
- ½ cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper for easy lift-out.
- 2️⃣ Make the brownie batter: In a bowl, beat melted butter and granulated sugar until glossy. Whisk in eggs and extra yolk, one at a time. Add cocoa powder and salt, then gently fold in flour until just combined.
- 3️⃣ Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the center is set. Let brownies cool completely in the pan.
- 4️⃣ Make the cookie dough layer: Using a mixer, cream softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in milk until smooth. Stir in heat-treated flour and mini chocolate chips.
- 5️⃣ Assemble: Gently spread the cookie dough over the cooled brownie layer. Use a piece of parchment to press it evenly.
- 6️⃣ Chill: Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up the cookie dough.
- 7️⃣ Serve: Cut into squares. Serve slightly chilled or at room temp. Enjoy!
Notes
- Heat-treat flour: Microwave flour for 1–2 minutes in 30-second intervals or bake at 350°F for 5 minutes to make raw cookie dough safe to eat.
- Variations: Try mixing in chopped pretzels, caramel bits, or peanut butter swirls for extra fun.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months—thaw in the fridge overnight.
