Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. 2Prepare cookie layer: Mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Combine melted butter, brown and granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips. Mix until just combined.
  3. 3Prepare brownie layer: Make browned butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring every 10 seconds until foamy (6-8 minutes). Continue until milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Add cocoa powder, oil, vanilla, and chopped chocolate; mix until smooth.
  4. 4Whisk 3 eggs and light brown sugar for 5-6 minutes until dissolved. Add powdered sugar; mix 1-2 minutes until combined. Add cooled browned butter mixture; mix until smooth. Add flour and chocolate chips; mix until well combined.
  5. 5Layer cookie and brownie batters in the prepared pan.
  6. 6Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until edges are golden and the center is only slightly jiggly (it will set completely once cooled).
  7. 7Let cool completely before cutting into brookies.
