Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

3 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups chocolate chips

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

For the Brownie Layer:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).

Spread Cookie Dough: Spread the cookie dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to ensure an even layer.

Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix in the eggs and vanilla until fully incorporated. In a different bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Layer Brownie Batter: Pour the brownie batter on top of the cookie dough layer in the baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the cookie layer.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter!).

Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
