Description
Fudgy brownie batter made with melted butter, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and vigorously beaten eggs for glossy texture, topped with chewy chocolate chip cookie dough spoonfuls that bake into golden, crackly top with brownie peeking through.
Ingredients

½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup (35g) cocoa powder
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
Cookie Dough:
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
¼ cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1⅓ cups (160g) all-purpose flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 9×13-inch pan with parchment or foil.
For brownies: Melt butter, stir in cocoa. Whisk in sugars and salt. Beat in eggs and vanilla vigorously until thick and glossy. Fold in flour, then chocolate chips. Spread thinly in pan.
For cookie dough: Cream butter and sugars 3-4 minutes until fluffy. Mix in vanilla and egg. Add salt, baking powder, and soda. Fold in flour, then chocolate chips (reserve some for top).
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over brownie layer. Cover with foil; bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake another 20 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
Notes
Beat brownie eggs vigorously for glossy crackly top.
Use room temperature butter for cookie dough.
Cover first 20 minutes prevents over-browning.
Cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
Reserve some chips for top for pretty presentation.
