Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Miscellaneous:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, ensuring easy removal of your delicious creation.
- In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup melted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Whisk in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Fold ⅓ cup cocoa powder, ½ cup flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking powder into the brownie mixture until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream ½ cup softened butter with ½ cup brown sugar and ¼ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the cookie dough. Gently stir in 1 ¼ cups flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Fold 1 cup chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly across the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough on top, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Use the parchment paper to lift the entire batch out, ensuring clean and precise cuts for serving.
Notes
- Chill the brownie batter for 15 minutes before adding the cookie dough layer to help prevent them from blending together during baking.
- Use room temperature eggs and butter to ensure a smoother, more evenly mixed batter that creates a better texture.
- For gluten-free options, swap all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and use certified gluten-free chocolate chips.
- Create clean, sharp edges when cutting by letting the brownies cool completely and using a hot, clean knife wiped between each cut.
