  1. Brown the butter:Melt the cookie-layer butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until golden brown and nutty. Let it cool slightly.

  3. Prepare the brownie batter:Melt the butter and dark chocolate together. Whisk in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
  4. Assemble:Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 × 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the pan, then add spoonfuls of cookie dough on top.
  5. Bake:Bake for 30–38 minutes, until the cookie layer is golden and a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and slice:Allow the brookies to cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy the rich brownie center and chewy brown butter cookie topping.
