Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Layer:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cookie Layer:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

    Make the Brownie Layer: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

      Prepare the Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips.

        Combine Layers: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough on top of the brownie layer. Gently spread the cookie dough to cover the brownie layer as evenly as possible. It’s okay if some brownie peeks through.

          Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie layer is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

            Cool and Cut: Allow the Brookies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the baked dessert out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

              Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and enjoy your fudgy, chewy Brookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
