Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until melted and smooth. Allow to slightly cool.
Step 3
Whisk 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Step 4
Sift 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the chocolate mixture and fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
Step 6
For the cookie dough layer, cream 1/2 cup unsalted butter with 1/2 cup light brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Step 7
Add 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons milk to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth.
Step 8
Sift 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the wet mixture, stirring to combine. Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
Step 9
Spread the cookie dough evenly over the cooled brownies in the pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 10
Refrigerate the assembled brownies for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Step 11
Cut the chilled cookie dough brownies into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
