Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Mix in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined well.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients to Brownie Batter: Sift in cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugars for Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with both granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the cookie dough.
  5. Add Egg and Vanilla to Cookie Dough: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until incorporated and the mixture is airy.
  6. Mix Dry Ingredients into Cookie Dough: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until a soft dough forms to maintain the right texture.
  7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overworking the dough.
  8. Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly across the base.
  9. Add Cookie Dough on Top: Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate chip cookie dough onto the brownie batter surface in an even pattern.
  10. Create Marbled Effect: Lightly press the cookie dough into the brownie batter to swirl the layers and form a beautiful marbled pattern.
  11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly gooey for that perfect fudgy texture.
  12. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy this rich, decadent dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix both batters to keep them tender and moist.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
  • Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough.
