Two-in-One Dessert Bars (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Brownie Batter

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

→ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

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

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for the brownie batter. Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
03 - In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for the chocolate chip cookie dough. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft cookie dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
04 - Pour the brownie batter into the lined baking dish, spreading it evenly. Take spoonfuls of the chocolate chip cookie dough and drop them onto the brownie batter. Gently press the dough into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
05 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey.
06 - Remove from the oven and allow the brookies to cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, cut into squares or desired shapes and serve.

# Notes:

01 - For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the brookies for about an hour before slicing.
02 - These treats stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
03 - You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans to either batter for extra crunch.
