📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 335℉ (168℃). Prepare a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and parchment paper. Cut the parchment paper so that it extends up past the sides of the pan.

Brownie Layer
3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, dark or dutch-process cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and light brown sugar. Heat the mixture in the microwave for ⏱️ 90 seconds until the butter is fully melted. Whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until combined and smooth. Set aside.

5
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, whip the granulated sugar and eggs on medium-high speed for 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes until light and pale in color. The mixture should double in size and become a pale yellow.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

13
Baking the Brookie Bars
14
Bake the brookie bars for about ⏱️ 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The center of the brownies will be slightly underbaked and will finish baking as they sit in the pan. If the chocolate chip cookie layer begins to brown too quickly, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil after about ⏱️ 30 minutes and continue baking until done. Cool the bars completely to room temperature before removing them from the pan and cutting into squares.
