A delightful mix of chewy cookie and fudgy brownie in one easy recipe that will impress at any gathering.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup + 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar (for brownie layer)
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg (room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla Extract (1 tbsp for each layer)
  • 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Flaky Sea Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder (for brownie layer)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. For the cookie layer, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg and vanilla, then gradually add the flour, baking soda, and sea salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. For the brownie layer, melt the remaining unsalted butter, then whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and the brown sugar, then gradually add the flour, mixing until combined.
  4. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the baking pan, then pour the brownie batter over it, spreading it evenly. Use a knife to gently swirl the two layers together.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.
