# Ingredients:

→ The Deeply Fudgy Brownie Base

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
05 - 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

→ The Golden Chewy Cookie Topping

08 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
09 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
10 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
11 - 1 large egg
12 - 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
13 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
14 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
15 - 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
16 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

→ The Finishing Touch

17 - 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. This ensures your Fudgy Chewy Brookies: The Perfect Dessert won't stick and makes serving a breeze.
02 - Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter. In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar, then beat in 2 large eggs and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/2 tsp fine sea salt until just combined.
03 - Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch pan. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it smoothly to the edges. This forms the deeply fudgy foundation for your Fudgy Chewy Brookies: The Perfect Dessert.
04 - In a separate large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract until well combined.
05 - Gradually add 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Dollop spoonfuls of this cookie dough over the brownie layer, gently spreading to cover.
06 - Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the cookie layer comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Do not overbake for the fudgiest Fudgy Chewy Brookies: The Perfect Dessert.
07 - Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt. Let the brookies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out by the parchment paper and cutting into 16 squares. Enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the brookies. They will continue to set as they cool, resulting in a perfectly gooey center.
02 - Store leftover brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They're also delicious warmed slightly!
03 - Feel free to swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips in the cookie layer for a different flavor profile.
04 - Serve these brookies warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an ultimate indulgent treat.
