Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownie Layer

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add cocoa powder and mix well.
Whisk in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
Fold in flour and salt gently until fully combined.
Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.

2. Prepare the Cookie Dough Layer

In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with both sugars until creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
Fold in chocolate chips.

Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently spread to create an even layer.
Press chocolate drops on top for a decorative finish.

3. Bake the Brookies

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still slightly soft.
Allow the bars to cool fully before slicing into squares.
