Method
10 steps- Brown the butter until golden and fragrant.
- Mix the chocolate chips with the hot browned butter until smooth to make the brownie batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 and 1/4 cups sugar, 3 eggs, and 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
- Stream in the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture and mix until just combined.
- Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder (if using), and salt to the wet ingredients and mix until combined to form the brownie batter.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into a 9x9 inch parchment-lined pan.
- Scatter half of the cookie dough over the brownie layer.
- Add the remaining brownie batter on top, then scatter the remaining cookie dough.
- Bake at 350F (177C) for 40-50 minutes.
- Let the brookies cool completely in the pan before slicing, or cool for 15 minutes at room temperature and then refrigerate until firm.
