Let’s Make it together
Preheat and Prepare Your Baking Dish: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix the Cookie Dough Base: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes; the mixture should feel airy.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. The batter should look glossy and smooth—like melted chocolate candy!
Sift Together Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually combine dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended; don’t overmix.
Add Chocolate Chips!: Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips gently using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter—resist eating them straight from the bag!
Create Your Brownie Layer: Pour half of your cookie dough into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Next, spoon dollops of brownie batter on top and swirl them together using a knife for that marbled effect—we want it looking like Halloween magic!
Bake Until Perfectly Gooey: Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until edges are set but center remains soft—trust me on this one! You want that gooey goodness intact.
Let them cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving—a true test of patience when delicious aromas fill your kitchen!
