Ingredients

Brownie Layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour*

Cookie Layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + more to sprinkle over the top before baking

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper; set aside. Start with brownie layer. In a large bowl, add butter, both sugars, and cocoa powder. Microwave for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Stir mixture together until combined.
Mix in eggs and vanilla very well. Add baking powder and flour, mixing until fully combined. Pour into prepared baking pan.
For cookie layer, in a large bowl, mix melted butter and both sugars together until smooth. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla extract and beat until fully combined. Add baking soda and flour, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Avoid over-mixing.
Drop spoonfuls of dough on top of brownie layer, spreading out to fill any gaps, as needed, in an even layer. It doesn't have to be perfectly covered. Sprinkle some chocolate chips over the top for presentation.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until top cookie layer is slightly browned and edges are set. If the cookie dough begins to brown too quickly, place a piece of aluminum foil loosely across the top. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

Notes

*Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Storing: Cover and store leftover Brookies at room temperature for up to 1 week. These can also be stored in the fridge, if you like to enjoy them cold.

Freezing Instructions: Freeze baked and cooled cookie brownie bars for up to 3 months. Arrange in even layers in a large freezer-safe container between sheets of parchment. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then allow to come to room temperature before serving. Warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.
