Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Layer:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Cookie Layer:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

    Make the Brownie Layer: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Next, add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.

      Prepare the Cookie Layer: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

        Assemble the Browkies: Carefully spoon the cookie dough over the brownie layer in the baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to spread it evenly over the brownie batter, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

          Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

            Cool and Cut: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the browkies out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.

              Serve: Enjoy warm with a scoop of ice cream, or let them cool completely for a chewy treat. Share with friends or savor them all for yourself!
