Ingredients
  

Brownie Base

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined. Spread into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan.
  • In another bowl, cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and milk, mixing well. Gradually add flour until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spread the cookie dough evenly over the cooled brownie layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  • Cut the chilled brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy as a decadent dessert for any occasion.

Storage

  • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months.
