Ingredients
Scale
¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (60g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon (15ml) pure vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups + 2 tablespoons (254g) all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ + 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (180g) chocolate chips
6 ounces dark chocolate, melted
¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups (285g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon (15ml) pure vanilla extract
¾ cup (105g) all-purpose flour
¾ cup (84g) cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
Combine the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly add dry ingredients into the dough, mixing on low speed until combined. Add chocolate chips and mix. Set cookie dough aside.
Melt dark chocolate and butter separately, then combine with sugar. Beat until smooth.
Add eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla to brownie mixture and beat until fluffy.
Mix in dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder) until just combined.
Spread brownie batter into pan. Flatten cookie dough pieces and press on top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, covering halfway through to prevent over-browning. Cool before slicing.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
