Equipment
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 6 ounces good quality dark chocolate coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla I used vanilla bean paste
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla I used vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13" baking pan with parchment and butter it. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To make the brownie batter: In the bowl of your mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat for another 90 seconds. SLOWLY add the warm chocolate with the mixer running. This will temper the eggs, not cook them. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to wet mixture, mix until just combined. Don't over mix. Spread into the prepared baking dish and bake for 16 minutes. Place them in the refrigerator for about an hour. It'll make spreading the cookie dough on so much easier.
- To make the Cookie Dough: cream butter and sugar together in your mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and milk, slowly incorporate the flour. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the cookie dough over the chilled brownies, and chill them for another 30 minutes or so, before cutting them into squares.
- Store covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
I gave the tops of mine a sprinkle of coarse sea salt.
