Description
Delicious brownie cookie bars with a chocolate chip cookie layer on top.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (90g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup (28g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- ¼ cup (43g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 2 oz chocolate)
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 ¼ cups (248g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ¾ cup (160g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a 9×13 inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Stir occasionally until fully melted, about 5 minutes.
- In a larger mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs plus additional egg yolk with an electric mixer for 1 minute, until the mixture is pale yellow and doubled in volume.
- Once the chocolate is melted, pour it into the egg mixture, add the vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
- Spoon the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula just until combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and make the chocolate chip cookie layer.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. You want this mixture to be fluffy and pale in color.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beat for 30 seconds.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed. The dough will be thick.
- Drop dollops of cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter. You want cookie dough balls surrounded by brownie batter, maybe a little swirled, but not fully swirled together. The brownie batter will rise up and surround the cookie dough when baking.
- Press the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips onto the top.
- Bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes, then cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes. The foil will help prevent the cookie dough from becoming too brown.
Notes
- These bars are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
