- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the brownie layer: Whisk melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, food coloring, vanilla, and salt. Add eggs and mix until smooth. Fold in flour and chocolate chips. Spread evenly in the pan.
- Make the cookie layer: Cream softened butter with brown and white sugar. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer and gently press to spread.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before slicing into squares or bars.
Notes
- Use room-temperature ingredients for smooth mixing.
- Do not overbake — slightly fudgy centers make the best brookies.
- Chill dough for a thicker cookie layer.
- Line your pan for easy, clean cuts.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top for a gourmet bakery finish.
