Instructions

Make the brownies:

Prep oven and pan. Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350°C (180°C). Line an 9"x13” pan with parchment paper, or grease with non-stick cooking spray. See note below about using a metal or glass pan.
Combine butter and chocolate. In a small saucepan on the stove, over low heat, melt and stir together the butter and chopped chocolate. Stir frequently to keep the chocolate from burning. Remove from the heat and stir in the cocoa powder, whisking to combine. Allow to cool slightly.
Combine wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla.
Add chocolate mixture to sugar mixture. Whisk the chocolate/butter mixture into the sugar/egg mixture until smooth and combined.
Add dry ingredients. Stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Spread batter. Spread the brownie batter into an even layer into the bottom of the prepared pan with a rubber spatula.

Make the chocolate chip cookies:

Cream butter and sugars. Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together until very light, about 2-3 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla. Add egg and the vanilla. Beat until combined.
Combine dry ingredients. Whisk in the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until evenly combined.
Add chocolate chips. Stir in the chocolate chips and stir in, on low speed, just until combined.
Add cookie dough to pan. Drop the cookie dough in spoonfuls on top of the brownie batter. Some of the brownie batter will still be showing.
Bake the brookies. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until top is set and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares and serve.
