Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup gluten-free flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cookie Layer

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix both layers separately before combining them in the baking dish.

Instructions

Prepare the Brownie Layer

In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Gradually add cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined.

Prepare the Cookie Layer

In another bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.

Assemble and Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish. Pour brownie batter into the dish and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie layer.

Use a knife to swirl the two batters together slightly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the brownies cool before slicing. Enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Bake

To ensure your Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies turn out perfectly, always measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and precision can make a significant difference in the final product. Using a kitchen scale can help you with this, especially when dealing with flour and sugar.

Additionally, avoid overbaking the brownies; they should be moist and fudgy in the center. Keep an eye on them as they bake, and use the toothpick test a few minutes before the suggested time. Remember that they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven due to residual heat.

Variations to Try

Feel free to experiment with this recipe by adding different flavors or mix-ins. Chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, can add an extra crunch to the texture. You can also substitute some of the chocolate chips with white chocolate or even caramel bits for an exciting flavor twist that will surprise and delight.

If you're a fan of peanut butter, swirl in some softened peanut butter into the brownie layer for a rich, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with chocolate. The possibilities are endless when it comes to enhancing these brownies, making them a canvas for your creative baking ideas!
