Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Additional chocolate chips or drizzle of melted chocolate (optional)
Chopped nuts for added texture (optional)
Sprinkles for a festive touch (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined and smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until creamy. Add the milk and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until no dry ingredients remain. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Once the brownie layer is completely cooled, evenly spread the edible cookie dough mixture over the top.
Cover the pan and refrigerate the assembled bars for about 30 minutes to firm up the cookie dough.
Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles.
