Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.

For the brownie layer

In a large saucepan, melt together the butter and chocolate. Once smooth, remove from the heat and whisk in the cocoa, sugar, and salt. Whisk in the vanilla and egg until fully combined then whisk in the flour just until incorporated.
Spread the brownie batter evenly in the pie plate.

For the cookie layer

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and both sugars until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture then add the chocolate chips.
Cover the brownie layer with the cookie dough by piecing together the dough on top (if you try spreading it with a rubber spatula, it'll tear up the brownie layer). Smooth out the dough so it completely covers the top.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out with very few crumbs. Cool completely before serving.

Serves: 8-10
