Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • ½ cup butter
Melt half a cup of butter in the microwave.
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
Whisk the cocoa powder into the hot butter to bloom it.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Whisk in the granulated and brown sugar, then the salt and two eggs, mixing until well incorporated, then the vanilla.
Sugars, salt, eggs and vanilla
  • 60 g flour
Stir in the flour gently until just combined, then the chocolate chips.
Flour, chips and the brownie base
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips
Spread the brownie batter to the edges of the prepared pan as a thin base layer and set aside.
  • 113 g unsalted room temperature butter
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
With a mixer, cream the room temperature butter with the granulated and brown sugar 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping the bowl down.
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 whole egg
  • ½ tsp baking powder
Mix in the salt, vanilla and egg, scraping down until homogeneous, then the baking powder and baking soda.
Egg, vanilla and leaveners
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 160 g flour
  • 1 cup summer sweet chocolate chips
Add the flour and mix on low until almost combined, then the chocolate chips for about 10 seconds; finish by hand with a spatula.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer in a dappled pattern with brownie showing through; the brownie rises in the bake into a marbled pattern.
Dotting cookie dough over the brownie
Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes at 350, then uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes.
  • chocolate chips
Optionally press a few more chocolate chips onto the cookie dough before baking.
Cool until cool enough to touch before cutting.
