Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
2
Start with the brownie layer: In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips over low heat until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then incorporate the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
5
Stir in the cooled melted chocolate until fully integrated.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, then gradually add it to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, and fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
7
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 16-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
8
Meanwhile, prepare the cookie dough layer: In a large bowl, cream together the remaining 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons of milk until smooth and creamy.
9
Add in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
10
Gradually add 1 cup of flour, stirring just until combined. Fold in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
11
Once the brownie base is completely cooled, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the top. Carefully spread the cookie dough to create an even layer on top of the brownies.
12
Refrigerate the completed bars for at least 30 minutes to firm up the cookie dough before cutting into squares. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
