1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a medium bowl.
2
Whisk the cocoa powder into the warm melted butter to bring out the chocolate flavor.
3
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt, mixing until the mixture looks slightly sandy.
4
Add the eggs and beat vigorously until the sugar mostly dissolves — this is the key to a shiny, crackly brownie top.
5
Stir in the vanilla extract; using an electric mixer here helps achieve that glossy, crackly finish.
6
Fold in the flour with a spatula until just a few streaks remain.
7
Fold in the chocolate chips until fully incorporated into the rich brownie batter.
8
Lightly butter a 9x13-inch pan, line it with parchment, then pour in the brownie batter and smooth into an even, thin layer.
9
For the cookie dough, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened room-temperature butter in another bowl, then beat on high with a hand mixer for 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy.
10
Add the room-temperature egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
11
Mix in the baking powder, salt, and baking soda until evenly distributed.
12
Add the flour and mix on low speed until almost fully combined.
13
Fold in most of the chocolate chips (reserving a handful for topping) using a spatula to finish the cookie dough.
14
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the brownie layer, leaving gaps so the brownie peeks through.
15
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top, aiming mostly for the cookie dough portions.
16
Loosely cover the pan with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake another 20 minutes until golden on top.
17
Let the brookies cool completely before slicing into about 15 bars; store at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
