# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.
02 - Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add melted coconut oil, plant milk, and vanilla. Mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
03 - Cream vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add plant milk and vanilla; mix well. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
04 - Carefully spread cookie dough in an even layer over brownie batter. Use a spatula or hands lightly moistened with water to prevent sticking.
05 - Bake for 30-35 minutes until top is golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy texture.
06 - Cool completely in pan before lifting out and slicing into 12 squares. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- You get the best of both worlds without choosing between brownies and cookies
- The texture contrast between the dense brownie and crisp cookie top is absolutely addictive
02 -
- Room temperature ingredients help the cookie dough come together smoothly and evenly
- Overmixing either layer can make them tough, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
03 -
- Chill the dough for 15 minutes if your kitchen is warm, this helps prevent the layers from swirling together
- Line your pan with parchment paper hanging over all four sides for easy lifting and cutting
