Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • ½ cup (90g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour for both the cookie dough and brownie batter by baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes or microwaving in 30-second bursts until it reaches 160°F (71°C) internally. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Gradually stir in the heat-treated flour, mixing just until combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the brownie batter: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Gently fold in heat-treated flour and baking powder until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Assemble the brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking pan, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the batter, spacing evenly. Pour remaining brownie batter over cookie dough, spreading gently to cover without mixing layers.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes. Check at 30 minutes; edges should be set and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool brownies completely on a wire rack before slicing to allow cookie dough to set and layers to remain distinct.

Notes

Heat-treat flour to make raw cookie dough safe to eat. Avoid overmixing the brownie batter after adding flour to keep brownies tender. If cookie dough softens too much during assembly, chill for 10 minutes before baking. Let brownies cool completely before slicing for best texture.
