# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Layer

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

→ Brownie Layer

10 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
11 - 1 cup granulated sugar
12 - 2 large eggs
13 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
15 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
16 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
17 - 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 23×23 cm (9×9-inch) square baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
04 - Spread cookie dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a smooth and even layer. Pour brownie batter over the cookie dough, gently spreading with a spatula to ensure complete coverage.
05 - Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs. Cookie layer should be golden with slightly crisp edges while brownie layer remains fudgy.
06 - Allow brookies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles.

# Notes:

01 - These fudgy brookies are best served slightly warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
