Directions

  1. 1In a saucepan, melt 80 g butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. 2In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with 80 g brown sugar, 40 g granulated sugar, and 1 g salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. 3Add 1 egg and 2 g vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. 4Gently fold in 85 g flour and 70 g chocolate chips until just combined.
  5. 5Place in fridge while you work on brownie batter.
  6. 6Preheat oven to 329 F.
  7. 7Place the 320 g chocolate and 180 g butter in a heatproof bowl.
  8. 8Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the water doesn’t touch the bowl) and stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  9. 9In a separate bowl, whisk the 180 g granulated sugar, 80 g brown sugar, and 4 eggs together until the mixture becomes light, thick, and well combined.
  10. 10In another bowl, sift together the 120 g all-purpose flour, 50 g cocoa powder, and 2 g salt.
  11. 11Add the melted chocolate-butter mixture to the sugar-egg mixture and stir until smooth and combined.
  12. 12Gradually add in the flour-cocoa mixture, folding it in until almost combined. Some streaks of flour should still be visible.
  13. 13Fold in the 120 g chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  14. 14Pour half of brownie batter into a parchment-lined baking pan and spread evenly.
  15. 15Layer chunks of cookie dough on top.
  16. 16Pour the remaining brownie batter and layer more cookie dough.
  17. 17Top with your extra chocolate chunks.
  18. 18Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  19. 19Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing for best results.
